Monday, the science department handed out the top science awards to seniors. There are three awards given at the end of each school year. The top senior in physical and biological science awards have been a tradition since 1988, and the top laboratory science award has been a new tradition since 2019. The top three students are chosen by all the teachers in the science department, and their names will be added to the NHHS Senior Science Wall of Fame. Also recognized on Monday was a senior who has competed on the Academic Superbowl Team for all four years of high school.
Jeremy Satterfield received the top physical science award. Jeremy is attending Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology and majoring in chemical engineering.
Alyssa Spurlock received the top biological science award. Alyssa is attending Indiana University Southeast and majoring in nursing.
Harrison Uhl received the top laboratory science award. Harrison is attending Purdue University and majoring in biology.
Lastly, Olivia Abner was recognized for four years of dedicated team work on the Academic Superbowl Team. Olivia is the only graduating senior on the team who has been participating on the team for her entire high school career. Olivia is attending the University of Alabama and is majoring in business and international studies.
Congratulations to these students, and best of luck to them in all of their future endeavours!
North Harrison is going forward with STEM Certification. Some of the students in Mrs. Schulz's Class earned a Purdue STEM Degree. They completed ten online lessons and passed the tests for each one to earn their Purdue STEM Degree. The lessons presented a wide variety of topics such as: The Greenhouse Effect, what can be learned from fossils, animal adaptations and more. These students used their free time to work on their STEM Degrees. They are very proud to have finished the course!
The 6th Grade Outdoor Education trip is officially underway! Be sure to follow us on the North Harrison Middle School Facebook page as well as the North Harrison Middle School Website Live Posts! Several posts have already been made!

April 25 was National DNA Day. To celebrate, Mrs Wade's 8th grade Science classes have spent the past couple of weeks learning all about DNA. Two of the labs they did were extracting DNA from strawberries and blueberries, and a lab where students extracted their own DNA and were able to take a piece of it home in a vial to keep.
Students in Mrs. Black's class spent a few weeks leading up to their Zoo field trip researching a zoo animal. They collected facts about their animal and wrote a research paper. They built the animal's habitat and were able to create their animal from clay to display in their habitat.

Ms. Hollen’s class has been having their own little Derby right in their own classroom in celebration of the upcoming Kentucky Derby. They have read articles together to learn about what it is, how horses are eligible to be in it, and the tedious naming process that goes into naming a Derby horse.
They made their own Derby hats and held their very own Derby races until the champion horse was determined.🐎🌹🏆
6th grade students learned a lot about horses and horse care today with visit from Rebecca Wilkins, Harrison Co 4-H Educator.
Students learned how to measure a horse, use weight tape, a hoof pick and brush, use a halter and the right type of hay to feed.
Today the NHHS Anatomy students started a lab titled ‘Cell Signaling -Taste Lab’. They have been studying the nervous system the last few weeks. This lab focuses on chemoreceptors, a special type of neuron receptor. Students were testing their sense of taste, gustation, through taste buds in their mouth. Each taste bud is a cluster of several cells: chemoreceptor cells in the center of the taste buds that synapse with afferent sensory neurons and support cells that form the outer wall of the taste buds. These taste receptors detect tastants that signal sweet, salty, sour and bitter. To determine how these receptors work, students are trying to different taste inhibitors over the course of two days: Tea made from the herb Gymnema sylvestre and a product called ‘Miracle Berries’. Their task is to determine what effect each inhibitor has on taste perceptions and to come up with a mechanism that explains this effect.
