Talk about cool science lessons! Eighth graders explored the states of matter in a hands-on experiment using dry ice. The laboratories were filled with fog, excitement and plenty of 'WOW' moments as they watched sublimation in action as dry ice transformed from solid to gas! |
Sandwich High School National Honor Society students recently spent the day at Harvard Medical School exploring medical history, problem-based learning, and hands-on simulation.

Students also met with current Harvard medical students, who shared insight and advice on pursuing careers in medicine.
Thank you to Dr. Katherine Miller, Erin Farren, Dominic Hall, Livia Rizzo, Leah Savage, and Savannah Layfield for making this experience possible.
Special thanks to SMHS student Katelyn Enos, whose outreach helped form this connection. Dr. Miller now serves as Katelyn's internship supervisor as she pursues a future in family medicine.
