Good schools, like good societies and good families, celebrate and cherish diversity.

• Description

Mr. Jerry McGuire, Applied Biological Systems teacher, asked his students to undertake a research project comparing different rates of growth after using Giberrellic Acid (a plant hormone) on alfalfa.  They had to use Inspiration as a tool to keep track of pre-treatment and a standard with 3 different treatment regimes.  What a great example of a higher-order thinking project!
