The Chilhowee R-IV School District is thrilled to announce our partnership with the Pediatric Place Family First Initiative! Together, we're committed to supporting our students and families by providing the resources they need to thrive at school and in life.
We invite families to complete a brief survey to help us identify key resources and address potential barriers. This will allow us and Pediatric Place to understand our community's needs better and tailor our efforts to provide meaningful support.
A few important notes about the survey:
It is completely confidential. Only the Chilhowee R-IV School District and The Pediatric Place Family First Initiative will have access to the results.
The information gathered will only be used to help families get the assistance they need.
By sharing your valuable input, you’re playing an essential role in shaping the services and resources we offer to our community. Thank you for helping us make a difference!

The 7th-grade students were back in the lab after winter break to study how water moves in and out of eggs through the egg membrane.
The egg shells were first dissolved in vinegar (acetic acid) and then placed in different solutions (distilled water, 34.2% sucrose, and 68.4% sucrose) after weighing them with a digital scale. This membrane is selectively permeable. This means that it lets some molecules move through it and blocks out other molecules. Water moves through the membrane easily. Bigger molecules, like the sugar molecules in the sucrose solutions, do not pass through the membrane.
The eggs were then weighed again to see if they gained or lost mass as a result of water moving into or out of the egg. The students then calculated the % change in mass and graphed their data in Google Sheets.
