Freshman biology students worked with non-pathogenic E. coli bacteria and performed a guided inquiry-based laboratory investigation. The laboratory activities were done in a teaching lab that is used for Biology Laboratory and Introduction to Microbiology Laboratory classes, which utilize several types of bacteria.
GHS Faculty and staff would like to congratulate the students of the week for 9/19 – 9/23 pictured here with administrators and PBIS staff.
Congratulations to Jamaya Barkley for creating the winning shirt design.
