Classroom Corner
Mrs. Henman’s psychology classes are learning about our five senses and their related deficits. We played a version of the “Blindman’s Bluff” game to explore our sense of hearing. The students stood around the perimeter of the area and repeated some sound, such as clapping, whistling, or stomping their feet. The student in the center, with eyes closed, had to hone in on one sound in order to locate a student to tag. We talked about aspects that this task more difficult, including focusing on one sound, outside noises, the wind, sounds that moved, etc.
Mrs. Hanic's 1st and 6th period classes combined history and medicine to create a timeline from their early surgical pioneers' research project. From antiseptics to antibiotics and flying ambulances to facial reconstruction, they discovered how modern-day medical innovations got their start.
