Mrs. Morton has been using the middle school 3D printer this week! She has printed a pyramid, prism, and a cone. These will be used by the 6th grade math teachers during their Geometry lessons!
April 25 was National DNA Day. To celebrate, Mrs Wade's 8th grade Science classes have spent the past couple of weeks learning all about DNA. Two of the labs they did were extracting DNA from strawberries and blueberries, and a lab where students extracted their own DNA and were able to take a piece of it home in a vial to keep.
Students in Mrs. Black's class spent a few weeks leading up to their Zoo field trip researching a zoo animal. They collected facts about their animal and wrote a research paper. They built the animal's habitat and were able to create their animal from clay to display in their habitat.
Ernstberger Orthodontics came to teach NHE 4th graders all about the
dental specialty of orthodontics. He educated our students about
dental health, hygiene, and confidence of a healthy smile.
Students in Ms. Allen's 6, 7, and 8th grade Family and Consumer Science classes made and enjoyed Chocolate Muffins last week!
Mr. Johnson's 2nd Grade class finished their mythology week with a performance of "The Contest of Athena and Poseidon." The acting was top notch!
Ms. Hollen’s class has been having their own little Derby right in their own classroom in celebration of the upcoming Kentucky Derby. They have read articles together to learn about what it is, how horses are eligible to be in it, and the tedious naming process that goes into naming a Derby horse.
They made their own Derby hats and held their very own Derby races until the champion horse was determined.🐎🌹🏆
6th grade students learned a lot about horses and horse care today with visit from Rebecca Wilkins, Harrison Co 4-H Educator.
Students learned how to measure a horse, use weight tape, a hoof pick and brush, use a halter and the right type of hay to feed.
Today the NHHS Anatomy students started a lab titled ‘Cell Signaling -Taste Lab’. They have been studying the nervous system the last few weeks. This lab focuses on chemoreceptors, a special type of neuron receptor. Students were testing their sense of taste, gustation, through taste buds in their mouth. Each taste bud is a cluster of several cells: chemoreceptor cells in the center of the taste buds that synapse with afferent sensory neurons and support cells that form the outer wall of the taste buds. These taste receptors detect tastants that signal sweet, salty, sour and bitter. To determine how these receptors work, students are trying to different taste inhibitors over the course of two days: Tea made from the herb Gymnema sylvestre and a product called ‘Miracle Berries’. Their task is to determine what effect each inhibitor has on taste perceptions and to come up with a mechanism that explains this effect.
NHES 4th graders completed the Be the Majority course through Our Place. Today, they received their t-shirts from Mr. Vance!
Our hope is that this group of students will “be the majority” when making good decisions regarding future healthy choices for their bodies!
Mrs. Thompson's class dissected a frog today for a cool, hands-on science lesson!
North Harrison will be hosting a Unified Track Meet against Corydon Central and Perry Central tomorrow, May 3, starting at 6:00 PM. This is an amazing event and we hope to have a large crowd on hand to cheer on the student athletes! 💙🖤💚
