Warmer weather, prom dresses, test prep and awards are just some of the signs that the school year is in its last stretch. The Arnett Wildcats have been busy with all that Spring brings.

4th grade science has been learning about the human body systems. They made their own digestive system including the organs inside. They worked together and used different colored yarn to measure out the intestines.
This week 4th graders also dissected chicken wings to see how our skin is connected to our muscular system and skeletal system as demonstrated by Aaliyah White Eagle and Audia McIntire.
5th grade science has been studying ecosystems and the different biotic and abiotic parts that interact in them. This past week Noah Holman, Leilani Daniels, Jozie Latta, Carlie Dowler, Alex Strick and Sabe Williams (L to R) made a small model of an ecosystem and also built their own terrarium to observe how an ecosystem can sustain itself.
Freshman Physical Science students Abbie Boyd, Martin Sanchez, Breclyn Suthers and Trenton Haney experimented with desalinization by distillation this week in the high school science lab.
