In Danielle Myers AP Biology class, juniors Allison Hopkins and Audrey Johnston place their gel electrophoresis trays onto a transilluminator to examine and photograph the stained gel of lambda DNA. The lab has allowed students to be able to look at DNA fragments and how these fragments cut themselves during gel electrophoresis to base-pair size. “I learned how to stain and rinse gels to look at lambda DNA and measure its migration distance for our Restriction Enzyme Lab,” Hopkins said. “It was interesting to see the relationship between the molecular weight of DNA fragments and its mobility on the gels.”

While participating in APUSH kickball, Junior Nora Liden strikes the ball with her foot. Every year following AP testing, Joshua Hart’s APUSH classes take a trip outdoors to have a friendly competition of kickball on the football field. “I had a lot of fun because I haven’t played kickball since middle school,” Liden said. “We got to be outside and it was nice out. I don’t remember the score but I know my team sadly lost.”

Competing in a driving simulator, senior Silas Falls controlls the wheel and pedals for a simulation at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This week, Debra Schoolcraft’s 5th period civil engineering class took a trip to the IMS to learn about the engineering that goes into keeping the track and everything included with that ready for the races held there. “I learned a lot, such as how race cars were made throughout the years and how the problems at the track are solved and fixed with engineers,” Falls said. “We got to tour the museum, suites and track. As well as this we had the vice president of construction management for the track, Tyrone Garrison, take us around and explain all of the though that goes into eveyrthing being perfect for the race days.”

In Ryan Hendryx’s Honors Biology class, freshman Charley Schlemmer learns about natural selection by doing a fruit loop lab. Certain colors were picked to double or get rid of to show what natural selection is like, which helped students gain a deeper understanding of this topic. “It helped me see how natural selection works in the real world and in real environments and how one trait can be attacked and one can be favored depending on the environment,” Schlemmer said.
