The end of the school year means FIELD DAY!

Woolwich Central School 7th and 8th graders have spent the year learning about the history of boat building and used traditional woodworking techniques to build their own stools, and tool boxes. The group worked collaboratively to build 2 full-sized dories that they launched in Nequasset at the boat launch in Woolwich today.

BMS Science Teacher, Monica Wright, has worked with a professional film crew to film a project that she does with her students. This project seeks to understand how middle school students’ participation in scientific modeling informs their classroom-based citizen science investigations, and how enhancing teachers’ learning about modeling changes both the opportunities students have to participate in scientific modeling and their understanding of change within ecosystems. The film is part of a national science foundation funded project with The Gulf of Maine Institute, Bowdoin College, and Vanderbilt University. Check out the films here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aNh0_Qzekc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNwRZmm3ygI
