Health Science campers at N-CMS learned about the layers of the skin yesterday. Here is their edible skin model. Who knew "skin" could be so delicious?! Campers also learned about the parts of the brain with "brain dissections"!
Thank you to Conover PD Officers LaPage and Backman for teaching our N-CMS Health Sciences Camp about how to dust and collect fingerprints and showing them tools of the trade.
N-CMS also hosted an Engineering & Construction Camp. They started their first day with a get-to-know-you activity/challenge of building a tower that can hold an object the longest. Students then learned how to read a ruler both in standard and metric. They spent the rest of the day measuring various objects to strengthen the knowledge that they just learned. On the second day, students learned about on-the-job safety and its importance. They each chose a particular design that they wanted to have etched on their birdhouse before they started constructing their birdhouse. On day three students were given the opportunity to find their creative side and paint their birdhouses to their own individual desire. On day four, students will be touring CVCC Workforce Solution Center and N-CHS's CTE classrooms. It has been a resounding week of fun exploration and everyone fully enjoyed themselves, teachers included!
Yesterday, at N-CMS health sciences summer camp, students learned the tricks of the trade with Respiratory Therapists. Students were able to learn about CPR, inspiratory spirometers, flutter devices, and pulse oximetry readings! Students also learned the anatomy of the respiratory system and then made lungs! Thank you to Lori Joplin and Rebekah Newby, respiratory therapists at CVMC!
This week N-CMS hosted a health sciences summer camp. Students learned about different eye diseases and tried to operate! Students were able to participate in learning how to perform a hearing test. Students also worked on learning anatomical directional terms with gummy bear dissections!
Today, N-CHS wrestler and 2023 graduate Owen Clark received the Heart of a Champion Award at the NCHSAA Annual Awards Ceremony in Greensboro. Congratulations to Owen and his family on receiving this award.
