Have you ever wondered what a bug looks like magnified? Today in Medical Forensics students learned to use microscopes to see just that. 

They learned to use their microscope by looking at bugs.  Wings, legs, bodies, heads, and eyes. 

Bugs were brought in by students and then the students chose which body part they wanted to look at and prepared a slide for the microscope.  The bug was viewed on three different magnifications, and students took pictures and were asked to draw what they saw. 

The Advanced Learning Center was delighted to welcome Rick Nielsen, the Nebo School District Superintendent, this week.  Mr. Nielsen toured the ALC's high-tech and modern facilities, including our new Auto Collision, Auto Repair, and Woods shops.  Mr. Nielsen is a strong supporter of career and technical education (CTE) and concurrent enrollment (CE) opportunities in a high school setting.

Just wanted to remind students that there are no classes being held at the Advanced Learning Center on Monday, September 20th in accordance with Teacher Development Day.

Classes will resume on Tuesday, September 21 st, and it will be an "A" day.

Please Note: If you have UVU live interactive classes, they are still being held as usual on Monday.

ALC automotive students had the opportunity to travel to the world-famous Bonneville Salt Flats to experience the World of Speed event. They were invited to attend by the UVU transportation technology department who brought their own land speed car (Bombshell Betty) to race out on the salt.
