Students in Baking Basics are completing their observations from our science experiment lab! Each group made chocolate chip cookies, testing a different leavening agent or amount of flour. Our control group cookie used 1 tsp of baking soda. Other groups used 1 tsp of baking powder, 1/2 tsp of baking powder and a 1/2 tsp baking soda and no leavening agent. We then had two groups that went back to 1 tsp of baking soda but changed the amount of flour to more or less than the control. This was a great way to see how baking truly is a science!

Mr. Parmeter's Algebra 1 classes are finishing up the unit on linear equations. The students are applying what they know from class to real world applications. In this math lab students are fitting a line to a set of data, and using that information to predict what will happen in the years to come. The first set of data shows the number of cases of Food borne Botulism in the United States, and the second set of data shows the average and maximum longevity of various animals in captivity.
