Beginners Teach Ninth Graders!
Beginners C children taught their ninth grade buddies about "watergel crystals" (super-absorbent polyacrylamide polymer) that change from hard to gooey when you add water. They encouraged their buddies to take a close look, to feel them and listen to them, but not to put the crystals in their mouths!

Our J-Term Intern is here!
Connor Hershkowitz has joined the NCCS science department for the month of January. He has already presented a slideshow to Upper Schoolers from his research on jaguars in the Cerrado region of Brazil, started to write a new unit on sustainability for inclusion in our curriculum, taught an honors biology class and last but certainly not least, helped reluctant seventh graders dissect an owl pellet! We're excited to have Connor here and we hope that you'll have a chance to meet him before he heads back to Middlebury in February.
