Shhh... science in progress! 🤫💤

Our biology students are getting up close and personal with some very sleepy Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies). Why the nap time? It’s much easier to observe genetics when your subjects aren't flying around the room!

Students are sorting the flies and then using microscopes to identify dominant versus recessive traits (like classic red eyes vs. white mutations). It’s hands-on investigation that brings the Ohio biology standards right off the page and into the lab. Great job by our budding geneticists! 🧬🔬

Buoyancy, Balance, and a Bit of Chagrin Innovation! 🌊⚙️

Mrs. Anderson challenged her 9th grade physical science students to achieve neutral buoyancy with custom, 3D-printed scuba divers. 💧Mr. Volk printed each diver in the Innovation Center with a unique weight distribution, so no two were alike. Using hot glue and their knowledge of forces, students experimented with items like beads, hardware, popsicle sticks, and balloons to adjust the net force and achieve neutral buoyancy.

To kick off the lesson, Dr. Penczarski, a certified scuba diver with more than 500 dives, shared insights about buoyancy and equilibrium from her underwater experiences. How do you float above a reef without touching it?

Thoughtful teaching and curious minds came together in this lesson, a reminder that learning can be both meaningful and authentic.

Throwback Thursday! 🏓
Back to gym class in 1993, do you remember breaking out the paddles for a game of pickleball in Mr. Wem’s class?

Who would have guessed gym class in Chagrin Falls would be so far ahead of its time!

✨ It’s been an amazing first week back at Chagrin!

📚 Our 7–12 Library Media Specialist, Ms. Sargiovanni, turned study hall into a place to play, create, and connect. Students enjoyed:
🎨 Coloring sheets
📸 Photo ops with a school camera
🎲 Board games
🔍 Scavenger hunts
🤝 And plenty of time to catch up with friends

What a great way to kick off the year—mixing brain breaks with a little fun in the library!
