Mrs. Allen's classes have completed several labs this year.  Among others, they have done a nervous system lab where they measured reaction time, and an egg lab.  During this experiment, students observe liquid entering and leaving a cell through osmosis.  Using an egg as a model, they measure and predict what effect each liquid is going to have on the egg.

Mrs. Blumer's classes have participated in lots of labs during third quarter, including the High School Flame Lab at GHS, the Rockets, Rovers, Barbienaut Challenge, the 1st Grade Science Fair with GES first graders, Newton's Laws, Hoverboards, Messages from Alaska, and the Ball Launcher Challenge.  Check out the video below for pictures and videos!

Mrs. Goldsboro's 7th grade science classes recently completed an acceleration lab.  They had to build projects that showed three types of acceleration.  They also recently finished their worm dissection lab.  Check out some pictures below!

It was an exciting beginning of the year for science classes at GJHS!  Students, teachers, and staff were able to witness the solar eclipse on Monday, August 21, and it was an incredible experience for all!  The school provided safety glasses for everyone.  Junior high classes paired up with elementary school classes to help encourage younger viewers to keep their glasses on.  Pictures from Eclipse Day are on the left!
