Chanyel Back pours
hydrochloric acid into a beaker for his for-
mative internal assessment. Hydrochloric acid is a hazardous
acid, so it is critical to wear safety gloves and glasses when one
uses it. 2. Jaipriya Gupta helps Kaili Brumsickle as she opens up
the brain of a fatal pig. While dissecting a pig, students were ad-
vised to wear safety gloves because of the fluid in the pig’s body.
3. Loukas Kang dissects a fetal pig during his biology class. During
the Human Physiology unit, the seniors had a chance to look
into a pig to learn about the muscles and the digestive system.
4. Mr. Villarreal demonstrates an experiment of Zinc metal reacting
with copper to his MYP Chemistry class. After the students complet-
ed the same lab themselves, they were asked to write a formative
lab report about the experiment. 5. Do Gyun Shon, Andrew Kim and
Angela Kang work as a team to solve problems as they were preparing
for an exam in MYP 10 chemistry class. During the class period before
each test, Mr. Villareal gave a review day for students to ask any ques-
tions. 6. Minji Kim and Emily Kim mash up banana to prepare for a
formative lab. Afterwards, students extracted DNA from the mashed
up bananas. 7. Harry Cho pours in potassium bromine during his ex-
periment on measurement of enthalpy in single replacement reaction.
Each student used different metals to measure the enthalpy. 8. Jenni-
fer Kim carefully pours magnesium powder into a dish to measure the
amount of the powder. Accurate measurements are essential in getting
credible results during a data collection. 9. Irene Jeong asks questions
to Mr. Smith about the food test during her biochemistry unit. Students
carried out a food test for protein, starch, and sugar. 10. Jenny Kim an-
swers questions on a worksheet during the moles unit. A calculator can be
used during the unit conversions between number of atoms and moles.
11. Gina Park draw a diagram to highlight the life cycle of a virus. In MYP
Biology class, students learned about the different parts of plant and animal
cells.
