Students in Ms. Hesse’s biology classes conducted a lab on testing pH levels of different solutions. Students are learning about scientific investigations and the impact that micromolecules have on living organisms. In Ms. Radtke‘s AP biology class, students conducted a lab on testing the properties of water. Students needed to determine how different additives affect the hydrogen bonds between different water molecules. Students needed to create a null hypothesis and an alternative hypothesis and chart their data. Students then analyzed and discussed their findings.

Last week we held our Junior and Senior class meetings! We reviewed Centennial’s expectations for graduation, attendance, and discipline. Representatives from Herff Jones were also present to provide information on class rings and all things graduation! Some students walked away with a free class ring or free cap and gown! #cen10challengeaccepted
