Happy Thanksgiving to our CRHS family! We're thankful for our amazing students, staff, families, and community that make our school so special! #ColonelTOUGH
This week, Mrs. Smith's AP Chemistry students just wrapped up a hands-on qualitative analysis lab, where students investigated a variety of solid substances to determine the type of bonding present—ionic, covalent (polar or non polar), and metallic.
Using observations such as conductivity, solubility, and physical characteristics, students acted like true chemists—testing hypotheses, comparing data, and drawing evidence-based conclusions. It was incredible to watch them think critically, collaborate with their lab partners, and confidently justify their reasoning using chemical principles we’ve been studying in class.
Great job, AP Chem scholars! Keep bringing that energy and scientific mindset—there’s so much more to explore! #ColonelTOUGH

What an unforgettable day in Chemistry! Mrs. Smith's students took part in the highly anticipated Element Speed Dating event, and it was a huge hit! Each student came prepared as the element they researched—complete with creative hashtags, clever likes and dislikes, and even some delightfully cheesy pick-up lines that brought science (and plenty of laughter) to life.
As they “mingled,” students demonstrated an impressive understanding of how and why certain elements bond to form compounds. They confidently explained which types of elements their own element would be compatible with—and just as importantly—which ones would be total deal-breakers. From ionic attraction to covalent compatibility, they made chemistry concepts shine through humor, personality, and quick thinking.
Their energy, creativity, and chemistry knowledge made this event both educational and incredibly fun. Mrs. Smith is so proud of the way they brought the periodic table to life today! #ColonelTOUGH
