🩺💙 Hands-on learning in action!
Today in Mrs. Mull's Intro to Health and Medical Sciences class, students learned about vital signs—learning not just how to take them, but the science behind what they mean.
Students practiced checking pulse and blood pressure, building real clinical skills they’ll use in future healthcare settings. To bring it all to life, they measured their vitals at rest, then headed outside for some exercise before rechecking and comparing their pre- and post-activity results.
This real-world experience helped students see firsthand how the body responds to physical activity—and why vital signs are such an important tool in patient care.
Future healthcare professionals in the making!

Geometry in Action at MCHS!
Today, Mrs Phelps's students took their learning outside the classroom and into the real world! While staking out the dimensions of a shed, they applied the Pythagorean Theorem to ensure the diagonals were congruent and the corners formed perfect right angles.
By measuring carefully and checking their work, students saw firsthand how geometry is used in construction and design every day. Hands-on learning like this helps bring math to life and builds problem-solving skills that extend far beyond the classroom!
Great job to our students for applying what they’ve learned and working together to make math meaningful! 👏📏

Students in Mrs. Mull's Intro to Health & Medical Sciences class had fun playing a medical version of Simon Says by marking their partner with painter's tape! Working with partners, students practiced identifying anatomical planes, abdominal quadrants, and directional terms such as superior, inferior, medial, lateral, proximal, and distal on the human body.
Activities like this help students learn medical terminology and anatomical positioning in a hands-on way while also building communication, teamwork, and critical thinking skills. Learning anatomy is always more fun when you can get up, move around, and practice like real healthcare professionals!

Taking "immersion" to a whole new level! 🪐 Mrs. Randall’s astronomy class traded the traditional classroom for the StarLab dome today. It wasn't just about looking at pretty lights—students got a hands-on look at the mechanics of our universe, including:
🌍 Earth’s tilt and how it dictates our seasons.
🌞 The sun’s position and angles throughout the year.
🌓 Understanding the equinoxes.
📈 Mapping the analemma (that figure-8 path the sun traces in the sky!).
There is nothing quite like learning real-world skills inside this amazing immersive dome. Our students are officially ready to navigate the cosmos! 🚀✨
