Hall-Dale received a grant to participate in the the SciTec project’s solar building challenge. The terms of the challenge called for students to design and build a 4 foot by 8 foot structure that could be transported to the Capitol Area Technical Center. A maximum budget of $500 was allowed. Entries were sealed for 24 hours and left in the sun. They were then monitored and judged based on two criteria - Solar Gain (how much the temperature increased during the day) and Heat Retention - (how little the temperature dropped during the night). Hall-Dale’s entry was designed primarily for Solar Gain, which category it won easily, reaching a temperature of 254 Degrees F - a gain of nearly 200 degrees and hot enough to boil water. The challenge was undertaken by the Period H Physics First class and spearheaded by 9th grader Samantha Lewis.
A new verb was born today, “Wolfram”. Just as we are used to saying “Just Google it, I expect that the use of Wolfram Alpha will become ubiquitous.

Hall-Dale K-12 libraries are kicking off a literacy campaign called Hall-Dale Reads! To help buy recreational reading materials that encourage students to read for fun, we’re going out into the community to ask for corporate sponsors. In return for a donation, we’ll put your company’s name on our web site and on a special bookplate in every book we buy with your donation. Over the life of a book, this will result in a lot of advertising! If you work for a company that you think would sponsor us, please contact .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) at 622-6211 ext. 301. Thank you for investing in our children and our community! Our logo was designed by senior Billy W.
Kevin’s Mitosis Movie
Students in Coleene Moody’s Biology classes took up filmmaking in an effort to understand the process and speed of mitosis. Students chose materials readily at hand and photographed them, using Keynote as a platform to build stop-animation movies. They presented them as Keynote presentations first - then uploaded them to Mrs. Moody’s Wikispace. More animations can be found by going to the Period J page.
Students in John Merrifield’s class presented staff and guests with a Festive Holiday Breakfast. Students began by taking an inventory of the room and making decisions about table positions and decorations. They chose a menu and prepared the entrees under the watchful eyes of Flo Wilkins and Mim Hall. Students then acted as greeters and servers, making sure that their guests were comfortable and satisfied. Students were assessed by the guests and the FLS teachers, and students showed mastery of skills learned during their work in the Bulldog Bakery and Greenhouse. This project is part of a thematic service learning unit that runs all year.
