🔬Did you know West Greene has its very own Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM)! This is such a wonderful and unique piece of equipment our high schoolers get to use personally. Soon our students will be running the microscope themselves but first they have to learn how to properly use other equipment we have in our science department including our autoclave. 🥼Mr. Shamay gave our students a run down of how to properly dry their samples in our autoclave, which is necessary prior to using our SEM. Here you can see some of our sophomores collecting items right behind our school. 🕷️🌻Soon we'll be looking at spiders, flowers and even grasshoppers under our microscope!
