💘 Valentine’s Day came early for the cell organelles! 💘
Mr. Pagawisan’s Advanced Biology class got cell-ebratory this week with their Cell Organelle Speed Dating activity! 🧬✨
Each student became an organelle looking for their perfect match — complete with:
📸 A “cell-fie” (organelle selfie)
💬 A cheesy pick-up line
🎶 A theme song
#️⃣ A trending hashtag
📍 Location (where the organelle can be found)
⚙️ Function (what it does for the cell)
😈 Bad habits (or what happens when the organelle goes missing!)
Students had 3 minutes to share their organelle’s “dating profile” before rotating to meet another cell part — just like real speed dating, but way more cell-educational!
From Mitochondria flexing their “powerhouse” energy 💪 to Ribosomes bragging about their protein game, the classroom was buzzing with bioscience and laughter.
💞 Even organelles need a little “cell-mate” connection sometimes!

🌿🧫 Plant Cell vs. Animal Cell Lab Day! 🧬🐾
Mr. Pagawisan’s Sophomore Biology class dove into the world of cells with their Plant Cell vs. Animal Cell Lab activity! Students got hands-on with science as they prepared their own onion cell slides 🌱 and cheek cell slides 😁 to observe under the microscope.
Through this activity, students compared cell structures, identified key differences between plant and animal cells, and discovered that even the tiniest building blocks of life have fascinating stories to tell! 🔬✨
Exploration, observation, and a whole lot of scientific curiosity filled the lab — a true cell-ebration of learning!

🧪✨ Biomolecules: Tested & Revealed!
Science got messy (and fun!) in Mr. Pagawisan’s Sophomore Biology Class! Our young scientists rolled up their sleeves for a Biomolecules Testing Lab 🔬💡. Using Benedict’s, Lugol’s, Biuret, and even the classic brown paper test, they checked everyday items for sugars, proteins, and lipids.
The test subjects? 👀
💧 Water
🥛 Milk
🥤 Zero-sugar soda
🍎 Apple juice
🌽 An “unknown” solution (spoiler: corn syrup!)
🛢️ And of course, vegetable oil
From color changes to paper stains, the results showed just how much hidden science is in the foods and drinks around us. Students didn’t just learn the theory—they saw biology in action!
👏 Huge shoutout to our sophomores for bringing energy and curiosity to the lab!

🧪 The Great Wall of Lipids!
Mr. Pagawisan’s Advanced Biology class explored why lipids make excellent “walls” for our cells—the material that makes up the cell membrane!
Students worked with 15 total setups, each mixing two of the following:
💧 Water | 🍶 Alcohol | 🍯 Sugar syrup | 🌽 Vegetable oil | 🧈 Melted butter | 🥓 Melted lard
By observing which combinations mixed and which stayed separated, the class got to see firsthand how lipids form strong barriers. This mimics what happens in living cells: the lipid bilayer keeps water-based environments separate while still allowing the cell to function.
💡 Key Takeaway: Lipids don’t mix well with water or other polar substances, which is exactly why they form protective membranes—nature’s way of keeping cells organized and alive!
Great job, Advanced Bio! 👏 Your curiosity and teamwork made science come alive today. 🌱✨
