VIDEO: Cordova High’s IB students experiment outside of the lab

In the real-world, it’s not uncommon for scientists from different areas of study to work together.
Biology and chemistry students in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme at Cordova High School developed some firsthand experience with that type of collaboration during a “Super Science Day” that got these young scientists out of the classroom and into the field.
On a recent trip to Jenkinson Lake at Sly Park, students collaborated on experiments testing the acidity of the water, experienced the outdoors and connected with their peers on a new level.
