SCIENCE!

After successfully eating a candle, our science department continues to surprise everyone. I personally was thrilled to see the freshmen physics teacher using the artifact of the 7 train the Summer Program created as an object of scrutiny in his physics class. The students from the Summer School Program have been coming up to me shocked that classes, and the occasional DEAR have used the train as a gathering place.


I would also like to thank Barkan for sharing the following hyper-linked quote from today's NYTimes.

"students should be given the chance to do real research — to experience framing a question, deciding what kind of evidence is relevant and figuring out how to collect it. "I'm not saying there's not drudgery in science," she said, "but when you get to the point where all the data are sitting in front of you and you start seeing patterns and nature begins to speak — that's a kick."
