Circulatory System Lab tomorrow ...

In AP, students will be doing the last AP lab of the year ... Circulatory System Lab ... #10.  This lab measures blood pressure and pulse rates of standing and reclining students, baroreceptor reflex and a step test.  Students the calculate their cardiovascular fitness level.

My Selected Topics class is also working on organ systems.

We played Edmonson County in softball this evening ... winning 10-0 in five innings.  Kelsi notched her 1000 strikeout of her career ... we stopped the game for a short photo shoot ... she ended up striking nine batters out for the game.  Only 14 players in the history of fastpitch in Kentucky have struck out 1000 batters and Allen County has had two.  Congrats KP!

Pictures below is from our early Spring ... Sunday morning John and I moved three hives down at the end of long field.  Lots of flowers blooming ...  below ... hairy vetch (purple), yellow rocket (creasy, upland cress) and the paulownia trees that my father-in-law spread around the farm ... an invasive plant but beautiful blooms (bees love them!) also called princess tree.  Seeds were used as packing for china and glassware from Asia years ago.  Not as bad as invasive as the "Tree of Heaven" which is also on this farm and I am trying to eradicate.
