Ms. Westafer’s Environmental class got to "test out" the watermelons that they have been growing in the school garden. They are constantly checking on our compost bins. They have also been working hard to collect data for their semester long experiment on plants.
Ms. Westafer’s Biology students discovered that all of the different types of cells that they are learning about look really interesting under the microscope!
They did WHAT? Thank you, Whataburger!

Ms. Westafer’s Environmental Science class investigated the importance of the water cycle and human impacts on the water cycle. They saw how humans can introduce chemicals and pollutants into the watersheds. They also traveled through the biosphere as a water drop and built a bracelet to document their journey.
Watercolor histology project: In Dr. Alldred’s anatomy class, students learned that cells create tissues in the body. Students chose a particular tissue type and used watercolors to create a piece of artwork!

North Georgia Invitational XC: The boys took 3rd place out of 22 teams. Wyatt Windham, 1st place, ran the fastest 5k in Georgia this weekend, with a 14.54, Witt Windham was 5th, 15:28. Sam Edwards, Solomon Alhadeff, Jackson Marling, Evan Good and Jacob Matthews all ran sub 18 mins in the 5k.
The girls team was led by Keli George who shattered the school record running a 19:35 5k. All of the girls ran a great race in sub par conditions. Most of them ran their PR's. It was a great day for a race!!
Ms. Westafer’s Biology class is discovering how population size can be limited by resources like food. They were black bears foraging for food in the ecosystem. We even had an injured bear hopping and a “mama” bear with cubs to feed!
Mrs. Nicholas, Coach Wisehart, & Ms. Westafer had their Biology students solve a "murder mystery" by testing the stomach contents of the victim to determine what they ate on the day of the crime. Students tested for biomolecules, to determine if they had carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids in the samples, and were able to successfully solve the case.
Ms. Westafer’s Environmental class is continuing their investigation into their plant growth lab testing different variables such as types of light or types of liquids to water their plants. They are also learning about the composting process and why decomposition is important for our ecosystem.
Lumpkin Youth Leadership DAY 1
Off to a great start!!!
