Candy Chemistry Ishi Hills Middle School

On December 5th 2012 Mrs. Musslemen's Science Ambassadors class walked from Ishi Hills Middle School to Oroville High School. These dedicated science students walked all the way in the rain in the name of hands on science. During this outreach the high school students taught the middle about the chemistry of candy making. During this lab we focused on phase changes and specific heat capacity. At the end student made a candy cane from scratch. Thank you Mrs. Musslemen and here class we had a great time.

Nelson Ave School Dec 5th 2012

 On December 5th the Science Ambassadors Club traveled to Nelson Avenue Middle School and performed frog dissections with Mrs. Sunderman's 1st and 2nd periods science classes. Prior to our visit  Mrs. Sunderman's class study the anatomy and physiology of a frog. This visit was meant to be a culminating activity for her class. The high school worked along with the middle school students to dissect and identify the parts of the frog. The enthusiasm and the excitement of our science ambassadors rubbed off to the middle school students and quickly they where able to get over the gross factor.
