8th grade STEM Balloon Car Project. Mrs. Volz's 8th graders investigated how changing the mass of the balloon car affected the velocity while observing Newton’s Laws throughout the project. They practiced their measuring skills and kept track of their data in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. Then they embedded the formula for velocity into their spreadsheet in order to calculate the velocity of their cars.

🎓BEA Seniors and parents are invited to join us and learn about the college planning process, timelines, tips and planning for the future.

Learn more about the referendum by attending TOMORROW’S Community Information Open House at 5:00 PM. Bring your questions! https://beaschools.org

Mrs. Eckhardt's Anatomy & Physiology class is exploring fetal pig dissection this quarter. They have been learning about organs and how the systems within the human body work together to maintain homeostasis. Like humans, pigs are mammals, so they serve as a good model to demonstrate similarities with humans. The students get hands-on experience working with surgical tools, using anatomical terminology, seeing what actual organs looked like and how they are connected. For the most part, they LOVED doing the activity and had so many questions, curiosities, and great thoughts as they were working to identify structures. What an interesting and engaging class! #beabucpride
