💨 Pre-Vet - Cellular Respiration 💨
Students are learning all about cellular respiration! Students observed the effect of sugar (Glucose & Sucrose) on cellular respiration of yeast to see which sugar provides more.
Art 2 students are working hard on creating cardboard sculptures! 📦
🔬Pre-Vet - Cell Structure 🔬
Students in Pre-Vet created their own wet mount slides! Using these onion slides students compared plant and animal cells.
🥒Food Science - Food Preservation 🥒
Students in Mrs. Shimmin’s Food Science class are learning about Food Preservation techniques such as salting, pickling, dehydrating, refrigerating, canning and more! Students had the chance to select a preservation technique and try it! Our chefs made pickles, dehydrated fruit, syrup, pickled jalapeños, apple sauce, and more!
The atomic weights of the elements are weighted averages calculated from the mass and percent abundance of the element's isotopes. Chemistry students are working to find the atomic weight of the element M&Mium, which exists as a mixture of peanut, regular, and mini isotopes.
Public Speaking students have been working on their career readiness unit. They have created resumes, cover letters, and prepared for mock interviews. Today they were interviewed by three professionals. Keegan Roth of John Deere, Scott Attig of Attig's Repair and Lisa Wilt of Bureau Valley High School. Tomorrow students will receive feedback and write thank you letters.
Physical Science students are working to prove the Impulse-Momentum Theorem. The product of the force on the car and the time the force acts must equal the product of the car's mass and velocity after it is launched.
Congratulations to Adriana Splitt on an outstanding performance at ILMEA District 2 band festival @ Augustana College this past Saturday on clarinet. This group was made up of 100 top performing students in our area. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job representing Bureau Valley!
Students in Mrs. Roth's Physical Science class have been learning about characteristics of various compounds. Here they have set up an investigation to test the pH level of various substances and determine if each is an acid, neutral, or a base. First students hypothesized the pH level based on what they have already learned and then determined if their hypothesis was correct using indicator strips and a color coded index.
Lots of Unity, Excellence, and Pride displayed by recent Principal's Award winners: McKinley Canady, Isaac Coats, Adrian Gallardo, Brady Hartz, Logan Huskey, Ashlyn Ledergerber, Aiden Litherland, Lydia Massa, Ashlyn Maupin, Atticus Middleton, Logan Philhower, and Ava Salazar.

Great turnout for the FAFSA Literacy Night! Special thanks to Jenn Schultz from Sauk Valley Community College's Financial Aid Department for presenting.
Four Bureau Valley students traveled to Sauk Valley Community College today to take part in Senator Win Stoller's Youth Advisory Council. These students learned valuable life-lessons from guest speakers and were able to collaborate with local students regarding Illinois policy!
🧬 Intro to Ag - DNA Models 🧬
What are some ways that agriculturalists may use knowledge of DNA and genetics? The Agriscience Investigators in Mrs. Shimmin’s Intro to Ag class are exploring that question! Students constructed their own DNA models learning how DNA replicates, that Cytosine combines with Guanine, and Adenine combines with Thymine!
🥩 Food Science - What’s at Steak? 🥩
What better to conclude learning about USDA Beef Grading than making some steaks? Students in Food Science enjoyed some delicious ribeyes from the Wyanet Locker! While enjoying these they discussed marbling, temperature preferences, and more!
Wonderful performance last night by students from around our conference. Great representation from BV! #gostorm #bvmusic
