FIELD WORK

This program is designed to allow the young scholars to appreciate math and science for what they really are, and that's fun, fun, fun, and highly educational too.

New Yorkers live in the fast lane, but what is the speed of water in a lake or river. Travelling along the Hudson, these young scholars recorded the velocity of the river from mid stream to the bank. At Bard College, these young scholars collected samples of animal life from different sections of the river to uncover the mysteries of that particular biosphere.

The young scholars' work always took them at the end of the day to the computer lab to write report of their final analysis. However for those problems that required not just thought but research, the young scholars found themselves working hard in the Mercy Library location on the first floor.

TEAM WORK

Although young scholars are broken up into groups named after scientists, they are a part of one large team, and always felt free to ask for assistance from the teachers and/or student aides.

A GOOD POSTER PRESENTATION CAN WIN YOU PRIZES !

For the final project, each group must do their best to model their problem, and present it on a poster board.
