As part of their study of green energy solutions, the Environmental Science students tested various wind blade shapes to in an effort to determine which shapes are most efficient at converting wind energy into usable power.

The Anatomy class dabbled in the world of taste and perception through a series of edible experiments. 1) By dying their tongues blue, students could count the number of fungiform papillae on their tongues, which are small structures that house our taste buds. Individuals who have a higher density of these papillae have a more […]

How would you try to protect a strain of yeast that was particularly sensitive to UV light? Our Biology students designed their own experiments to compare methods.  Would glass, tears, a dollar bill or tanning oil provide any protection? How would denim protect the yeast compared to cotton, and would the color of the cotton […]

In anatomy class, students dissected sheep brains to explore the intricacies of the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) in three dimensions. The sheep’s brain is large enough to allow for the observation of key features without the need for magnification. This hands-on experience provides students with a deeper understanding of the structure and function of […]
