🔬 Medical Detectives Explore Earthworm Anatomy! 🪱
Our Coy and Ankeney Medical Detective students had a hands-on learning experience dissecting earthworms to study their reproductive, digestive, integumentary, and respiratory systems. 🧬
Fun fact: Did you know that earthworms breathe through their skin? 😮 Such a cool discovery!

Melissa Bussey, a respiratory therapist from Kettering Health, recently spent the day with our Medical Detectives classes at Beavercreek Middle Schools, sharing insights about her profession and teaching students the basics of performing an intubation.
As they explored human body systems with a focus on the respiratory system, students gained hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of real-world applications in healthcare careers. This exciting opportunity allowed them to connect their classroom learning with practical, career-oriented knowledge!
Thank you, Melissa, for inspiring our future healthcare professionals!

It's been a busy week in the Medical Detective's room.. Earlier this week, to practice dissection procedures, review the digestive system, and learn about the skeletal system, students in Medical Detectives class dissected owl pellets, assembled skeletons and compared the rodent skeleton to the human one. Amazing! It was a real "Hoot!"
Each week, the 8th grade social studies teachers choose one student as the "Great American of the Week." This student exemplifies the qualities that every Great American should have such as a curiosity and passion about history, being involved and motivated in the classroom, and treating all classmates and teachers with respect. For the week of September 2nd, Arianna is the Greatest American of the Week. Ms. Burk says Arianna takes advantage of every opportunity in class to learn more about history and even asked to take two tests early so she wouldn't miss anything when she was on vacation. Wow! We're so proud of you Arianna! Way to Go!
Coy's Medical Detectives explored the parts of the heart and how blood flows into and out of the heart using a pig's heart today. Our students were definitely "Learning with Heart" today!

Ankeney and Coy Students in our Medical Detectives classes are diving into the new year with hands-on learning! 🧤
They recently put on gloves coated with GloGerm lotion to simulate dirty gloves. After mastering the proper technique to remove them, they checked under a black light to see if they avoided contamination. A great way to start the year! #BCSMedicalDetectives #HandsOnLearning #BCreekSchools
Wow! Coy students in Medical Detectives put on gloves and covered them with GloGerm lotion to simulate dirty gloves. They then learned how to take them off properly and checked with a black light to see if they contaminated their hands. Our students were Amazing!
Our Coy students are off to an energetic start! - Dancing at recess, hands-on activities in 7th and 8th grade science, and beautiful masterpieces already being created in 6th grade art! 🎨
We're loving the creativity and enthusiasm. #BcreekSchools #CoyMiddleSchool

Making Friends, Learning and Having Fun!! In Science, Coy sixth grade students used deductive reasoning to figure out what mystery object was on the card placed on their backs and then found their match. For example, peanutbutter had to find jelly. These new friends then used a venn diagram to find out how they were alike and how they were unique. More friends were made all day long as they looked for other matches in the halls, cafeteria, and at recess. What a wonderful day!
