The first 3 weeks of 2025-2026 are in the books, Week 4 is short (4 days) but very busy!

In Mr. Jackson's environmental science class yesterday, students utilized food coloring and water to visually demonstrate how the concentration of dissolved oxygen in a water source can be affected by various environmental factors. These factors include water movement, climate change, and pollution, illustrating the dilution and decreased concentration of oxygen in aquatic ecosystems.

Buffalo Nation, week 2 was a success, let's make week 3 even better!

The Giddings Interact Club is very thankful to our donors and their donations that made our fundraiser successful.

Last week, Mrs. Taylor's environmental science students created volcano projects for her class. Science students had to distinguish the location, type, and relative motion of convergent, divergent, and transform plate boundaries using evidence from the distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes. Students were able to use project based learning to show how plate boundaries move and when a certain plate boundary (convergent) moves, it can cause the formation of a volcano, mountains, and/or trenches. In addition, they had to explain how plate tectonics accounts for geologic processes, including sea floor spreading and subduction.
