Upper school students have continued to evaluate scientific ideas using hands-on labs and experiments. Students will be showcasing some of their research in February at the digital science fair. Recently senior Hawa Sturr conducted an experimental taste test of organic vs store bought fruits for A.P. Environmental Science with her sister and two senior peers in her quarantine bubble. They correctly guessed which was which at about an 80 to 90 percent success rate, across 4 different fruits and a beverage. The organic products were all produced within 100 miles from DC, and the store bought were all shipped from over 500 miles from DC.
