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!

Sam expended a lot of calories conducting high-level research at Mercyhurst University for his AP Research paper. Luckily, he could replenish his calorie loss in the MU cafeteria. He indulged in what amounted to three lunches, and he finished up his meal with a pile of waffles gelled together with heaping gobs of Nutella. Bravo, Sam!
Mr. Barbour's AP Research students visited the Mercyhurst U library to continue finding peer-reviewed sources for their research project. The reference librarian helped a lot, and the students did an incredible job. That second 15-source annotated bibliography should be complete soon!

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.
