Mrs. Nicholas, Coach Wisehart, & Ms. Westafer had their Biology students solve a "murder mystery" by testing the stomach contents of the victim to determine what they ate on the day of the crime.

Ms. Westafer’s Environmental class is continuing their investigation into their plant growth lab testing different variables such as types of light or types of liquids to water their plants. They are also learning about the composting process and why decomposition is important for our ecosystem.
Ms. Westafer’s Biology class is discovering how population size can be limited by resources like food. They were black bears foraging for food in the ecosystem. We even had an injured bear hopping and a “mama” bear with cubs to feed!
