Congratulations to The Biome’s CLASS OF 2024!
The Biome School entered the Academy of Science’s virtual science fair, where our outstanding 4th-grade student, Alyssa, won second place. Her project, ‘Buzzing From Caffeine: How Does Caffeine Affect Your Heart Rate?’, analyzed the effect of caffeine on heart rate by measuring the resting heart rate of five adults before and after consuming a can of Coca Cola.
Congratulations, Alyssa!
