Sleeping in Class, Bones and Muscles ...

In AP Biology, we worked on our last required lab of the year ... Circulatory System Lab.  Student groups tested a member in each group for cardiovascular fitness ... taking BP and pulse rates reclining and standing, baroreceptor response and a step test ... most students tested average or good.  Pictures below are of that lab ... sleeping class, what some students have practicing for all year!

In Selected Topics we worked on bones and muscles of the body ... should know some to be a citizen of the USA!  We will continue our human organ systems study tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the last day of school before Spring break ... most students are ready for a break!

Softball practice after school ... some fielding, older players hit indoors, our younger players worked with Coach Carter and I on fake bunt slap, bunting and going short on two strikes ... we seemed to make some headway in these areas.

Next varsity game is Saturday at the Marshall County Tournament starting vs. Goreville, IL.

Came home and was going to mow but saw a small swarm of bees.  Put them in a hive box with a frame of honey ... we will see if there was a queen present.  Set up a couple of swarm boxes ... one on a deer stand and the other in the barn.  Caught a swarm in the barn last year, maybe I will get lucky again.
