OpenSciEd Winners

On Friday, May 8th, three teams of students from Northbridge Middle School attended and competed in the statewide One8 Foundation Student Showcase. The students were accompanied by their dedicated science teachers, Mrs. Mercier and Mr. Silvestri, as well as the middle school's instructional coach, Dr. Kim Kelly. Each team created a display and shared their learning from one OpenSciEd unit of study to a jury of industry professionals. OpenSciEd Lessons are built around real-world "phenomena" that students investigate to understand scientific concepts. The 7th grade team of Danielle Germain, Meyer Ihesiene, Ashley Johnson, and Madelyn Otteman were awarded the first place prize for their presentation on "ecosystem dynamics."
