Prior to the Eagles and Patriots taking the field on Sunday, Feb. 4, Grade 6 math students competed head-to-head in a fast paced, high intensity, large scale game of Super Bowl Math. The fun exercise allowed students to solve numerous math problems as individuals and as teams.

How does a large retail chain like Walmart transport their products around the world so effectively? How do the weather stations predict which way the hurricanes will travel? How do facial recognition programs work? Students are able to find the answers to these questions and more this year in the new Linear Algebra and Differential Equations course. King is one of the few schools in the nation that offers a college level Linear Algebra and Differential Equations course for students who have completed AP Calculus BC.

Last summer, Senior Elena Gribelyuk spent eight weeks at the University of Florida as part of a high school science enrichment program. She developed a novel computer algorithm that improves upon the conventional approaches that are used for filtering and enhancing image data.

Grade 12 students are using a combination of mathematics, economics, evolutionary game theory, and computer software to analyze how market bubbles are formed.

In late September, Grade 6 students spent the day at Stamford's Cove Island Park for their first installment of the SoundWaters "Watershed Science Experience" - a cornerstone of the Grade 6 Science program.

At this year's first Annual Upper School Science Fair, students showcased their ability to approach questions scientifically by presenting their hypothesis-driven science experiments to a group of internal and external judges as well as the greater King Community during the two day event in May.

It didn't take long for Kindergarten students to master the programming of their robot, 'Coji' and send it across the table with circular motion and emojis...and lots of laughs.

Nisha Chandra '17 always knew she wanted to be a doctor, but it wasn't until she spent time designing medical drugs with a group of scientists at New York University that she really knew what that entailed.

Much of the material covered in the Grade 8 Conceptual Physical Science (CPS) class, is theoretical. But for some units, like the unit about energy, students get the opportunity to take the concepts learned in class and apply them.

Dry Ice Week, a yearly tradition in the LS Science program, takes place every year around Halloween and offers a teaching opportunity for students to learn about properties of frozen CO2.

There was an excess of Raspberry Pis and a plentiful number of uses. That was reason enough for Eamonn Nugent '19 and Tristan Golden '19 to create the US Computer Hardware Club.

Earlier this year, LS students in Grades 3-5 partnered with a school in Africa to explore electricity accessibility and how something we take for granted every day can be life changing for children in Ghana.

All eyes were on the stage in late March as NASA astronaut Rick Mastracchio addressed the US students in the PAC and shared his experiences from his 227 days and nine walks in space.

In June 2016, eleven Upper School students embarked on a six-week training module to learn basic kayak strokes and maneuvers, self and assisted rescues, rolling, navigation, planning, leadership and problem solving in the marine environment.

This series focuses on how Faculty bring their passions to their teaching and how their approach to teaching and learning helps students achieve their personal best. In early May, we checked in with Michelle Sibrizzi, Science Faculty, as she conducts a Grade 7 lab.
