STEM and Business

Congratulations to the Boonton High School's Consumer Bowl team: Amy Leon, Ornella Campanelli, Batisse Manhardt, Rita Murray, Husna Rahman, and Jaylene Combs. The team won a close match to secure the county championship for the third year in a row. The team continues to work hard as they prepare for the Regional Consumer Bowl on April 23, 2020.

Last week, Mr. Levy's class worked on a "chat stations" activity in which students traveled to different stations around the classroom and cooporatively completed math problems related to sequences.

Last week, Mr. Del Guercio's chemistry class experimented with different types of chemical reactions. The video below is a class demonstration of the combustion of a hydrocarbon. The photo below is a demonstration of a double replacement reaction: The product of which a colorful precipitate forms.

The photo and video below are from Mr. Del Guercio's "Gummy Bear Combusion" lab.
