3 1. DP Chemistry teacher Mr. Villareal shows Stacy Chung the one liter mark on the volumetric flask that indicates exactly where one liter of liquid would reach. Stacy was preparing to create a sodium thiosulfate solution in the volumetric flask. 2. Haley Park measures the mass of a mixture of iron, zinc, salt, and sand. She was doing a lab on the separation of mixtures. 3. Hyun Nam and James Ahn work on their assignment ‘Laboratory Observation of Mitosis.’ The assignment required students to find and draw the various stages of mitosis as outlined by the textbook. 4. Grace Lee adjusts the coarse adjustment knob of her microscope. The coarse adjustment knob brought the specimen into general focus whereas the fine adjustment fine-tuned the focus and increased the detail of the specimen. 5. Chris Jung asks Mr. Montgomery, the Biology teacher, questions on the Electron Micrograph of Intestinal Epithelium Cells quiz. During class, the students took quizzes on the electron micrograph of intestinal epithelium cells, salivary gland cells, mitochondria within a cell, muscle cells, and nerve cells. 6. During Chemistry class, Mr. Villareal clarifies and helps David Kim, Ethan Kim, and Alex Kim prepare for the upcoming test. Students were given class time to study for the exam on atomic structure and electron configuration. 7. In MYP Chemistry, Younglee Kim solves a mass spectrograph worksheet using the Periodic Table. 8. Loukas Kang, Chanyel Back, and Changhee Han record the mass of some zinc. Students had to separate elements through magnets and heating. 9. Heather Yang pours hydrochloric acid into a test tube. For her Biology IA, she was investigating the relationship between sodium levels and protein digestion. 1 2 5 4 History of Science Class Students dissected the windpipes of pigs and chicken ligaments in anatomy class. 2010 2016 6 2013 Increase in outdoor activities for ESS Science teachers encouraged to incorporate more TOK into class instruction 2012 Mr. Montgomery taught astronomy class .
