🔬 Science in action with Mrs. Bisignani's Medical Detectives class! 🧠 Students dissected chicken wings to explore muscles (biceps/triceps), bones (ulna, radius, humerus), tendons, and ligaments. Just like a human arm, the students could manipulate the muscles and tendons to make the "arm" move! One of the biggest surprises? When students cut into the bone and discovered bright red bone marrow—because that’s where red blood cells are made! 🩸 Hands-on learning at its best! 🧡 #MedicalDetectives

It's been a busy week in the Medical Detective's room.. Earlier this week, to practice dissection procedures, review the digestive system, and learn about the skeletal system, students in Medical Detectives class dissected owl pellets, assembled skeletons and compared the rodent skeleton to the human one. Amazing! It was a real "Hoot!"

Each week, the 8th grade social studies teachers choose one student as the "Great American of the Week." This student exemplifies the qualities that every Great American should have such as a curiosity and passion about history, being involved and motivated in the classroom, and treating all classmates and teachers with respect. For the week of September 2nd, Arianna is the Greatest American of the Week. Ms. Burk says Arianna takes advantage of every opportunity in class to learn more about history and even asked to take two tests early so she wouldn't miss anything when she was on vacation. Wow! We're so proud of you Arianna! Way to Go!

Coy's Medical Detectives explored the parts of the heart and how blood flows into and out of the heart using a pig's heart today. Our students were definitely "Learning with Heart" today!
