8th grade ended science this year with some exciting events. First a trip to #CarowindsSTEAMQuest to celebrate their marble coasters and then their mousetrap car projects! Never a dull day in middle school science🚗🎢🪤#WCDSScience #WCDSMiddleSchool #WCDSGrade8

#WCDSGrade7 students tried their hand at dissecting frogs this week! It’s an end of year tradition for 7th grade science. #WCDSScience #WCDSAcademicExcellence

Watch out for the sharks in Mr. Stern’s Honors Biology class! Students were working on their shark dissection in the lab today. #WCDSScience #WCDSUpperSchool #WCDSBiology

#WCDSGrade7 students are observing ant habitats and behaviors as part of their ecology unit. We love to take the classroom outside on days like this! #WCDSScience #WCDSMiddleSchool

Mrs. Ingram’s #WCDSGrade6 science classes are celebrating Earth Day by painting rocks that will be placed around school! #WCDSScience #WCDSAcademicExcellence #WCDSMiddleSchool

#WCDSGrade7 students love working outside on their fossil sorts to learn about relative and carbon dating when the weather is beautiful! #WCDSScience #WCDSAcademicExcellence #WCDSMiddleSchool

Students in the Marine Biology class went on a 4 day trip to the marine research lab at UNCW and completed research projects while there. This was an unforgettable experience for these students! #WCDSScience #WCDSBiology #WCDSAcademicExcellence #WCDSUpperSchool

The roller coaster project has started! 8th graders were given the task to create a themed prototype out of mainly recycled materials & then they will create a video to highlight the coasters potential/kinetic energy and speed! #WCDSScience #WCDSMiddleSchool

Egg-celent work by #WCDSGrade8 students during their egg drop project! There were only 3 survivors this year, but students tried their best to create containers to keep their eggs safe. Onto the roller coaster project next! #WCDSScience #WCDSMiddleSchool

#WCDSHonorsBiology students created proto-cells called coacervates with a mixture of organic compounds and hydrochloric acid last week in the lab! #WCDSScience #WCDSUpperSchool #WCDSGrade9 #WCDSAcademicExcellence

On your mark, get set, accelerate! #WCDSGrade8 students took advantage of the warm weather again to calculate their acceleration when sprinting across the basketball court. Anytime spent outdoors is a good day! #WCDSScience #WCDSMiddleSchool

The #WCDSGrade6 science classroom is erupting with some amazing volcano projects. Here are two more by Josephine Chaland and Luke Rubinson! #WCDSScience #WCDSMiddleSchool #WCDSAcademicExcellence

[Science | Westchester Country Day School @WCDS_Science]

We int-“erupt” your day to show off this #WCDSGrade6 volcano project by student Merritt Carter. We can’t help but “lava” the creativity shown! #WCDSScience #WCDSMiddleSchool

[Science | Westchester Country Day School @WCDS_Science]

What a beautiful day for #WCDSGrade8 to be outside calculating their walking speeds as they move right along into physics for the rest of the year!

More photos from the #WCDSEngineering class making stoplights and nightlights. #WCDSScience #WCDSAcademicExcellence

[Science | Westchester Country Day School @WCDS_Science]

Red, yellow, green-Go! #WCDSUpperSchool students in engineering made functional stop lights. #WCDSScience #WCDSEngineering #WCDSAcademicExcellence

[Science | Westchester Country Day School @WCDS_Science]

Students in #WCDSEngineering are studying electrical engineering currently. They have written code for their Arduino boards to make an LED light blink and eventually make a stoplight! #WCDSScience #WCDSUpperSchool #WCDSAcademicExcellence

AP Biology students worked on genetically modifying E. Coli to express fluorescent jellyfish proteins. After they grow, they will use liquid chromatography and electrophoresis to purify the bright green glow proteins. #WCDSBiology #WCDSScience #WCDSUpperSchool

#WCDSGrade7 students extracted DNA from strawberries and bananas this week in the lab. They have been learning about DNA structure and function so this was the sweetest lab to compliment that! #WCDSScience #WCDSMiddleSchool
