Chapin School Princeton Upper School students competed on Saturday at the Long Island Invitational as part of their work in the New Jersey Science Olympiad. 

The importance of STEAM initiatives cannot be underestimated, and Chapin students have been learning about the lives of "STEAM Heroes"--those who used their understanding of different STEAM disciplines to achieve great things.

In Mrs. McCarthy’s fifth-grade math class, students are beginning the study of integers. Prior to learning the rules for addition and subtraction of positive and negative numbers, students used a kinesthetic approach and walked a number line to understand concepts. After learning how to model addition and subtraction students will then practice their skills on paper before subsequently being challenged with another hands on activity that uses integer chips.

4th grade has been learning about human digestion, organs, functions, enzymes, and the difference between chemical and mechanical digestion. The students worked in groups to create a life sized poster using one of their friends as the model they outlined!
