🦠💀 A Journey Back in Time: MCHS Students Explore the Black Plague 💀🦠
Ms. Southwick's class at MCHS researched one of the deadliest events in human history—the Black Plague. Students uncovered the terrifying impact of this medieval pandemic that changed the course of the world. From its sudden appearance in Europe in the 14th century to its devastating symptoms, the class learned how the plague spread, claimed millions of lives, and forever altered society.
🔎 Key Insights:
Introduction: The Black Plague first appeared in Europe in 1347, quickly spreading across the continent.
Symptoms: Fever, chills, fatigue, and painful buboes (swollen lymph nodes), with many suffering agonizing deaths within days.
Causes: Caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, transmitted by fleas on rats, which thrived in crowded, unsanitary conditions.
Death Toll: An estimated 25-30 million people lost their lives in Europe alone, wiping out up to 60% of the population in some regions.
💡 This study is more than just history—it's a lesson on the power of diseases and the resilience of humanity. Keep up the great work, students! #BlackPlague #HistoryInTheMaking #MCHSHistory #LearningThroughHistory #MCHS
🔍✨ MCHS Teachers Dive into WICOR Inquiry Strategies! ✨🔍
Our MCHS teachers are on a mission to make learning more engaging and inquiry-driven with WICOR strategies! One powerful inquiry tool is See - Think - Wonder! 💡
Here's how it works: 👀 See – Students start by observing the content and answering, "What do you see?"
💭 Think – Then, they’re asked to reflect, "What do you think is going on?"
❓ Wonder – Finally, students ask themselves, "What does this make you wonder?"
This strategy encourages deep thinking, sparks curiosity, and invites students to explore new ideas with an open mind! 🧠✨
We're excited to see how this approach will inspire our students to ask questions, engage critically, and unlock their own learning! 🙌

In Ms. Manahan's AP Environmental Science class, students aren’t just learning about the environment—they’re designing it! 🖊️🌱 As part of their exploration of speciation, each group was tasked with imagining a rat that has adapted to a unique island environment. From harsh climates to scarce food sources, these future environmental scientists put their creativity and knowledge to the test to come up with innovative adaptations that would help their rats survive in challenging conditions.
Each group was challenged to design a rat with at least 5 adaptations, considering factors like the island’s surface, climate, freshwater availability, and food sources. 🏝️💧🍂
Stay tuned as we dive deeper into the fascinating world of speciation and evolution! Who knew science could be so creative and fun? 😎

🌱🔬 Exploring the Nutrient Cycle in Mr. Gordon's Science Class! 🔬🌱
Students in Mr. Gordon's Science class at Martin County High School are learning about the vital processes that sustain life on Earth by diagramming the Nutrient Cycle! 🌍💚
From photosynthesis to decomposition, they’re discovering how nutrients move through ecosystems, ensuring plants, animals, and microorganisms can thrive. These future scientists are not just memorizing concepts—they're visualizing how energy and matter cycle through our environment in a way that connects everything in nature. 🌿🔄
By creating detailed diagrams, students are getting hands-on experience with how nutrients like carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus circulate in the biosphere, making connections between living organisms and the planet’s health. 🌳🔋
Amazing work, team! Keep diagramming the circle of life and the science that keeps our world in balance. 🌎✨
