Don't miss out on the action tonight!


🔬🧪 Our 8th Grade Advanced Science students brought science to life today with the Iodine Starch Lab!
In this experiment, students observed diffusion in action. Iodine molecules were able to pass through a semi-permeable bag and react with starch inside, turning it a blue-black color. Starch molecules, being too large, could not pass through—giving students a clear, hands-on demonstration of how molecules move across membranes.
Amazing job to our young scientists for exploring the processes that happen every day inside living cells! 🌟
