Students in Mr. Johnson's Chemistry-Integrated class conducted a reactions lab recently. For this lab they visualized each of the five Chemical Reaction types that were observed. Those five types include: Synthesis, Decomposition, Combustion, Single Replacement, & Double Replacement. They also described any evidence of a chemical reaction, whether it was color change, temperature change, evolution of a gas, formation of a solid, etc. Learning in action!
Big shout out Josiah Rainey for shattering the school record in the 100 meter dash last week! Josiah ran a smoking 10.38, which is a current Top 50 time in the nation!! The school record was previously held by US Olympian Jeff Henderson. That's a pretty impressive record to break! Way to go, Josiah!
