Celebrating the Joys of Science in the New Lower School Lab A long-held dream came true this fall, when the Lower School opened a new science laboratory on the fifth floor, complete with a resident science specialist, Megan Dunphy Gottlieb. Located in a sun-filled corner classroom, the 500-square foot space is all about science and represents a dedicated space for scientific inquiry and experimentation. Third and fourth graders visit the lab weekly in half groups, and time in the lab is also scheduled regularly for kindergarten, first, and second grade students. Teaching and learning in the lab supplements the thorough science education our Lower School students receive in life science, physical science and earth science. Early science experiences have been shown to develop students’ problem-solving skills and empower them to participate in an increasingly scientific and technological world. Lower school families had the opportunity to attend a morning or an evening “lab open house” in October. They were greeted by Head of School Michael Nill and Lower School Head Jackie Condie, and were treated to a special PowerPoint presentation by Science Specialist Megan Dunphy Gottlieb. The presentation can be viewed here (QuickTime movie); please allow time for the file to load and then click on each slide image to advance the presentation.
