After finishing Michael Crichton's novel Timeline, Ms. Lawson's classes researched various aspects of Medieval culture. Groups included the different religions of the time arguing to convert to their faith, the life of the upper class, Medieval food for the upper and lower class, Medieval tournaments, courtship and wedding customs of the Middle Age, Medieval weaponry, medieval superstitions versus logical people from today's world, and Medieval architecture. These projects are dedicated to the late Michael Crichton, whose novels will continue to engage readers for many years. The students were very saddened by his death after delving so deeply into a world he brought to life. They look forward to reading another of his novels during their senior year. |

Mrs. Oakes' biology students are working with a representative of Virginia Tech to utilize the PREP Program. PREP (Partnership for Research and Education in Plants) brings the research lab into the classroom and the classroom in the research lab. The students are growing arabidopsis plants. They will then conduct research involving variables and record their own data, which they will send back to Virginia Tech in about six weeks. Virginia Tech will take those plants and use them in their research, which will then be published for all to see. If you wish know more about PREP, visit their website at www.prep.biotech.vt.edu
