Westwood High School Science 

Our physics students recently wrapped up an exciting electricity project that brought together science, creativity, and design in a memorable way. As part of their study of series and parallel circuits, students built original projects using lightbulbs and motors to demonstrate their understanding of how circuits work. The final creations were fantastic. Students designed everything from living rooms and kitchens to naval battle scenes, lighthouses, functioning stop lights, g

On Thursday, January 8th, Dr. Don Spratt from Clark University visited Food Science and Chemistry classes for a fun and engaging Kitchen Chemistry talk. Students explored how chemistry shows up in everyday cooking and eating through a variety of topics, including flavor perception through the five senses and temperature sensations from hot peppers and cooling mint. Students also learned about acid-base indicators in berries and mirror-image molecules that produce drastically
