Mrs. Hamby's Food Science class learned about Heat Transfer- Radiation today. Students used magnifying glasses to make the sun burn a hole in a sheet of paper. They learned about radiation from the sun and how a small bead of sunlight can burn through magnification. Once students returned to class, they wrote about this experience for their science portfolios.
Nykki Lee, ICHS alumna and Branch Manager for Five Star Credit Union in Ocilla, came to speak to Mrs. Haire’s business classes about all of the career opportunities within the financial, banking, and credit union industry including roles in finance, marketing, operations, sales, information technology, and human resources. Career exploration is a major component in the business education classes, and students will hear from more hometown community partners in other career fields in the near future.

Last Friday, Mrs. Bridges’ Chemistry classes learned about scientific notation, significant figures, and dimensional analysis. Students were able to figure out Grandma’s secret fudge recipe by converting different units for all of the ingredients. It was a tasty and fun lab for all!
Mrs. Hamby’s Food Science students put their teamwork to the test with a spaghetti tower challenge! This fun activity focused on problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration—key life skills. Great job, students!
Mrs. Hamby’s ECE2 students created an interactive poster board timeline to explore the History of Education. This hands-on project helped students connect past milestones in education to the progress we see today, while practicing collaboration and presentation skills.

Mrs. Griffin’s 10th grade students worked in groups to modernize Shakespeare’s Hamlet into a family group chat, taking turns “texting” on paper back and forth as the characters in the play. Love the creativity involved in putting a modern spin on a classic.

Ms. Leverett and Mrs.Apperson’s first block British Literature class worked in small groups to analyze Beowulf. Beowulf is a difficult British poem that dates back to 400 AD, and is often considered the original “Hero” story! Ms.Leverett and Mrs.Apperson’s students worked hard to understand the text and apply their knowledge, and they are very proud of them!
Last week in Physical Science, our 9th graders kicked off the year with the Penny Lab challenge in Mrs. Carter's class. They tested how many drops of clean water vs. soapy water a penny could hold, putting their scientific method knowledge and lab skills to work! It was a great start to the year! Can't wait to see what's next!
