Science in a second language

Sixth- and seventh-graders at Â鶹ӰÒô International Center showed off their knowledge of the scientific method (and the English language!) on Thursday at the school’s Science Symposium.

Scientific topics like velocity and liquid absorption – just some of the subjects studied –   are challenging enough to understand and explain when you’re fluent in English. Kudos to these kiddos for tackling and describing their experiments to judges and their classmates – in a second language!

Top projects will advance to the citywide Joseph Henry Science Fair next Friday at The College of Saint Rose.
