Class & Club Spotlight - December 2024 - Part 2
Now in its 9th season, Evolutionary Ideas is a culminating project for 11th and 12th graders in the Social Psychology elective. Working in small groups, students research a large-scale topic and distill their work into a 15-minute episode. This year, they debuted their episodes with classes in the Middle School and then led a short discussion or activity on the topic, extending their learning across divisions.
🔊 Listen to Episode 1: "Regret" by Max F. C. '25, Nora S. '25, and Camilla T. '25.
Advanced Art History students continued their tour of DC's museums and galleries at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Asian Art this month. Focusing on works from Hinduism and Buddhism, students explored Shiva Nataraja (lord of dance), Japanese Niō (seven-foot guardian figures), and Chinese pottery.
In Life Science, 7th graders build facility with the scientific method, "a dynamic, open-ended process to investigate questions." Earlier this month, they worked on writing hypotheses and creating data tables by testing different brands of gum to see which could blow the largest bubble by circumference.
