Honors Biology
Students in honors anatomy wrapped up the integumentary system by testing the SPF of different products using UV lights. Students drew a line with yellow highlighter on black paper. Using blank microscope slides to represent skin, students put a coat of sunscreens of different SPF values on each slide, in addition to plain hand lotion and shampoo. The brightness of the yellow line as seen through the slide when the UV light is on corresponds to the SPF value. Honors biology students are working on taxonomy. Small groups of students were assigned taxa to research. Students then compiled the data on 22 total groups and are applying this information in a cumulative project. Given a list of scientific names, students are discovering the common name and matching the organism to one of the researched taxa. Students will then create a dichotomous key for all 22 groups.
