AP Biology
This year, our AP Biology classes have been working on a yearlong research project, analyzing how the life cycle of mealworms is affected by the consumption of styrofoam. We were funded this year by the NY Academy of Sciences Scientist in Residence (SiR) program, and a group of students will present our research to SiR scientists from across the city. These students chose to make a video of this presentation instead of presenting live, and they worked really hard with me to analyze our data, write a script and other materials for the video, record it all, and narrate it, all while also preparing for our AP exam this week!

Trigonometry Project (April 7, 2022)

History: The clinometer is a tool used by plumbers, miners, sailors and many others to measure angles of elevation. The clinometer was invented in 1989 and is still used today to measure the heights of objects that difficult to measure.
-
Purpose: In this trigonometry project, students constructed clinometers using protractors, straws, paper clips, a small weighted object and string. They worked in pairs to indirectly measure the heights of tall objects in the auditorium such as the balcony, windows, and projector using trigonometry.

Blue Heron Park
June 5, 2019
On May 24th and 28th, freshman, sophomore, and junior students enrolled in Leadership Circles attended trips to Blue Heron Park in Staten Island hosted by the Urban Park Rangers. Rangers led students through an outdoor classroom program on the topic of ‘ecology and the web of life.’ Students learned about the impact of native and nonnative species on the environment, the effects of human impact, and got to meet live animals. Among them was a snake hilariously named Houdini for his tendency to escape his container! It was a trip students won’t soon forget.
