Welding

The Welding Class was fortunate to have a professional welder share his expertise with us.

A Life Giving System Beneath Our Feet

The Agriscience Class learned all about soil while taking part in a fun activity. The students added water, calgon, and soil to a jar and shook the mixture for five minutes. The students then sketched the results and were able to distinguish the undecomposed organic matter, clay, silt, and sand.

Natural Dye

The Agriscience Class made natural dye by boiling water and adding the spice Turmeric. The class dyed white yarn a beautiful yellow color.

Cutting Metal

The welding class took part in cutting metal using the well saw to prepare for our guest speaker, a professional welder.

Drafting Class

The Drafting class has been working on numerous projects including drawing their dream house and sketching a map of an amusement park. They are also enriching their drafting/computer skills by learning the program Google SketchUp. The students went to the gym and measured each part of the basketball court and used graph paper to draw a basketball court to scale. Here are a few photos of the students hard at work.

Blueberry Ink

The Agriscience class made ink from blueberries and wrote poetry with the ink.

Soda Can Sculptures

The Welding and Metal Fabrication classes created amazing sculptures from soda cans. The pop tabs were collected to help the Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Scuppernong Vine Wreaths

The Agriscience class had a blast making holiday wreaths using scuppernong vines.
