What's up for the week of September 23-27

This will be a short week for us here in the Upper School science "department."  The sixth grade will take a trip to Lake Champlain on Thursday and Friday to study the history and ecology of Vermont's biggest puddle.  We have just wrapped up a look at Champlain's creation in science.  The seventh grade will look at different forest zones as we hike up Mount Moosilauke on Wednesday.  After a restful night at the rustic Ravine Lodge at the mountain's base, we will head to the Montshire Museum to enjoy the exhibits and take part in an aquatic investigations class.  The eighth grade is learning how to calculate the density of common substances; they will visit secondary schools of interest on Friday.  Have a happy week!
