Young scientists at work! Higher Level International Baccalaureate Biology students must complete an internal assessment that involves designing a research question and experiment, conducting the experiment, analyzing the data, and evaluating the results.
Every student designs their experiment based on the lab skills they have learned over the past year and a half and the content covered in the course. Some of the experiments include: factors that affect germination; yeast respiration using different sugars; food preservatives' impact on bacteria growth; enzyme concentrations for stain removal; hydrogen peroxide decomposition; food calorimetry; and many others.
10th-grade chemistry students tackled electrochemistry with a hands-on copper-plating ornament project, discovering how chemical reactions deposit metal onto objects.
After our annual “The Thing in the Gym” celebration, seniors and their first-grade buddies connected by playing games, sharing holiday plans, and creating festive cards together. These moments highlight the special cross-grade relationships that are a part of life at Wilmington Friends School.
The 8th grade choir traveled to Kendal-Crosslands to spread holiday cheer through music! Singing for the residents of both communities, the student musicians enjoyed sharing their talents and celebrating the holiday season with this special group.
Thanks to middle school parents Inna Snyder and Julia Morse Forester '00, working alongside Jewish Student Union (JSU) advisor Shoshana Kaplan, students enjoyed a meaningful and delicious Hanukkah celebration.
Thank you to all the WFS community members who came out to Charcoal Pit on Wednesday night to try Coach T’s “Quaker Shake” on his birthday and celebrate our 2025 State Champion Field Hockey Team!
