Student in Biology are learning about cellular respiration, which is the breakdown of food, specifically glucose, to make chemical energy for our cells. In this lab, students are testing their carbon dioxide output, breath rate, and heart rate. Students were able to test how much carbon dioxide is removed by breathing into a pH indicator that changed colors based on the acidity from the carbon dioxide. The quicker the change in color, the more carbon dioxide that was removed and thus the more cellular respiration that occurred. #LeadOn #orabs #sheldonorabs #science #biology #sheldonhighschool

Spanish II students have been studying Spanish terminology for different directional words and places found in a city. To practice these terms, students created a city map in Spanish and then wrote directions in Spanish on how to get from one place to another. Students then tested their Spanish speaking and listening skills and directed their classmates around their city map. #LeadOn #orabs #sheldonorabs #spanish #learning #sheldon #sheldonhighschool

Our sophomores attended the O'Brien County Career Day today where they were able to learn more about careers available right here in O'Brien County.

Students also were able to listen to a variety of panel speakers who shared more about the careers they do. Students were able to ask them questions about their career in O'Brien County and why they choose to work there. Thanks to all of the businesses that welcomed our students into their buildings, O'Brien County Economic Development for hosting the event, the panelist for answering questions, NCC for allowing this event to be held in their buildings, and everyone else who helped make this possible for our students! #LeadOn #careers #learning #obriencounty #sheldonhighschool #sheldonorabs

Mat Ball is a fan favorite for High School PE! Mat ball is similar to kickball, but instead of bases students have to jump onto large padded mats as they travel from base to base. #LeadOn #PE #sheldonorabs #orabs #fitness
