Although NC holds a reputation for its appropriately renowned International Studies Magnet Program, it equally deserves praise for its successful encouragement of the field of science, predominantly through the women and girls that engender that passion. Both in and out of school, the ladies of NC showcase the cruciality of female voices in science. With club meetings, lesson plans or summer programs, NC women help fan the flame of the importance of female voices in this diverse field.

El Niño, the phenomenon that changes global winds, began in late July of 2023. This occurrence will negatively impact ocean productivity in the Pacific Ocean and bring abnormal weather conditions, specifically to East Asia and the Western Americas. Ultimately, citizens can expect to see weather changes as the El Niño season endures.

COVID-19 does not only affect human beings, contrary to popular belief. It can affect animals, varying from wild to even domestic pets. Most of the pets infected with the virus fully heal and do not even show any type of symptoms, to begin with. A mink, the first wild animal to catch COVID while the first pet to get COVID was a German Shepherd. COVID-19 has not only affected the pets physical health, but their mental health too, such as them becoming more anxious when separated from their owners and family.

Senior Rachel Maxwell looks in horror upon one of the typical AP style questions in AP Physics 1, dealing with rotational motion. The problem requires students to look at the situation conceptually, and only deal with variables and not numbers. This skill takes practice and shows up on the AP exam quite often.

Is AP Physics right for you?

Mr. Evans’ Oceanography class dove into studying the shark’s anatomy by dissecting one in class. Students cut and examined parts of the shark to further visualize what helps the shark function, instead of looking at a textbook. “The dissection helped me because we are learning about the shark, but pictures and diagrams do not really help. Seeing the real thing helps you get an inside of the topic,” junior Priscilla Peterson.

Mr. Evans’ AP Environmental Science class learned about ocean acidification through a demo lab. Students discovered how the acidification process worked underwater by blowing carbon dioxide into seawater. The carbon dioxide in their breath reacted with a chemical in the water and changed its color.

New to NC, Honors Chemistry teacher Rebecca Gregory prepares her students for a lab— her favorite classroom activity. The lab will show her students how to determine if an element has an ionic bond or covalent bond, which students often find difficult to understand.

As part of the NC Anatomy class with teacher Julie Hopp, junior Spencer Williams and freshman Tatiana Sidorova examine and dissect a sheep’s heart to identify and label the different parts on a hand out. The objective? To develop a concrete understanding of the heart’s components and functions. “I learned how the heart works, and all the different paths,” Williams said.

Seniors Claire Vance and Claire Phillips measured a toy cars speed and velocity for Ms. Brennans Physics class. Physics students complete a wide range of projects throughout the year, but this project stands as a class favorite. I feel like this is a very hands-on activity and gives us a visual perspective of how things we do in class act out in real life, Vance said.

Fun with physics
