North Babylon High Students Teach Younger Counterparts

Students from North Babylon High School recently visited Marion G. Vedder Elementary School to conduct science lab lessons for its fourth-graders.

Students in Renee Bandes’ advanced placement environmental science class worked with the MGV students on lab exercises about groundwater contamination, which correlated with the fourth-grade’s water cycle topic study. The high school students took on teacher roles — they researched information, organized it in a meaningful way for their audience and sustained the attention of the younger students.

The AP students will be making follow-up visits to MGV, as well as visits to the rest of the district’s elementary schools.
