The Chapel School Students Study the Scientific Method

Bronxville, NY- The Chapel School welcomes their new Middle School Science teacher, Samantha Danziger. Ms. Danziger served at the school as a maternity leave replacement last year. “We are thrilled to have her on the Middle School team,” stated Mr. Michael Schultz, Assistant Principal of The Chapel School. Ms. Danaziger graduated Summa Cum Laude from SUNY Geneseo, where she was Pre-Med for a year and excelled in advanced level Biology and Chemistry courses before deciding to become a teacher. She is enthusiastic and is excited to be a part of The Chapel School family.

Students in The Chapel Middle School began the year reviewing the scientific method, lab safety, and scientific tools. They learned about using compound light microscopes and began hands on activities to explore scientific inquiry skills and measurement. “WOAH!! Look at this onion under the microscope, that is sooo cool, you can see the cell wall!”

Science classes are an important part of The Chapel School’s Curriculum. A staff member stated, “We want to foster a love of learning, exploring, and excitement about the world.” The focus of the program is to encourage the students to think scientifically by practicing science process skills and critical thinking skills. The use of the scientific method will help the students “think” like scientists and develop a deeper understanding of fundamental concepts and ideas.

The Chapel School is located at 172 White Plains Road in Bronxville, New York. Open Houses are scheduled throughout the year. For more information about the Chapel School and its programs, please call 914-337-3202 or visit the website at www.thechapelschool.org
