In Mrs. Martinez’ Anatomy and Physiology Classes, the students
constructed 3D models of the layers of the skin. This was a
project that took the students a couple of days to complete but
accomplishing this helps them to
learn about the different parts of the
skin.
Students in Mrs. Trice’s classroom are using technology on a daily basis. Currently
they are working with a Computer Science Google
Program.
