Welcome to Our Heartbeat Newsletter!
If you're new here—welcome! Every Friday, we send out our Heartbeat of the Wildcat newsletter to keep you informed and connected. Each edition includes highlights of what’s been happening around the school during the week, as well as important updates and upcoming events.
Stay tuned and thank you for being part of our Wildcat community!
Around the Halls
CCP biology students are the studying microbial growth By growing their own cultures and classifying the types of bacteria grown.
Our Physical Science students are exploring motion using vectors in a hands-on (and slightly wiggly!) way! Today, they tracked the paths of super worms to better understand direction and movement—and we even had a special guest student, Mrs. Prescott, join in on the fun! #CreepyCrawlyScience
They’ve been busy in CCP Chemistry! 🧪
Last week, students explored the wonders of boiling point elevation by making fudge and watching the temperature rise all the way to 115°C. Learning has never been so sweet! 🍫🔥
In CCP Physics, students are working on discovering how we perceive color! 🌈They are experimenting with colors produced directly from light sources, through colored filters, and those reflected from surfaces like paint. It’s a hands-on way to see how light and color shape the world around us!
