Eighth grade students at Nash Everywhere Digital Academy (NEDA), led by teacher Malissa Lyons recently participated in their 2nd in-person lab session of the year. During this hands on learning opportunity they conducted an experiment to identify potential carriers of the Squirrel Flu virus using simulated blood samples, enhancing their knowledge of virus characteristics and disease transmission.
This lab provided an engaging and relevant learning experience, allowing our eighth-grade students to explore scientific concepts through hands-on experimentation.
Standards Addressed:
