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.

This week, Mrs.Dean's students learned how working together can make life easier. The STEM activity was to work together to use only string and rubber bands to upstack the red cups. To make it even more challenging they had to then stack the cups back up. They also had to work as a team to make the hoola hoop go from one end of the line to the next.
