As a culminating project learning about ratios, proportions, and scaled maps, sixth-grade students enlarged an image of their choice by hand. Students were able to choose a scale factor between two and four as long as it fit on the posterboard. In their reflections, students shared how proud they were of their final products and were impressed by how much it looked like the original. Check out the architects’ masterpieces in the album below.
For the past two weeks a small, dedicated group of STEM students have participated in two different science fairs, virtually. For the first time in the history of both the Pennsylvania Junior Science Academy and the Lehigh Valley Science Fair the fair was conducted on line. In addition to being online, the young scientists could not perform their experiments at school adding a level of complexity to the overall process. However, MA students accorded themselves very well as these results show.
On Wednesday, February 24th, students were treated to a morning of dialogue with two experts on genetic diseases, hearing from both the clinical and theoretical sides of the field.
