Did you ever wonder why McKee sits so high up in the neighborhood? If you come to Earth Science lab you will be making your own replica of your high school. Chemistry has been busy with distillation and making rock candy , Living Environment has been studying the cell in depth and Physics is learning how to float rings in mid-air!!! Come and join us for some fun!!!
MAKE-UP LABS have started with Mr. Lucci Period 0 in RM 309. If you have somehow missed any lab time, please come and see him to make your work up.
