On October 17th, 2024, the Academic Decathlon team visited the New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium in Fort Hancock! The team learned about the importance of marshes, how the dunes help maintain the shores and the history of Sandy Hook. The students went shad fishing, which is a technique the Lenape used, in the river and caught hermit crabs, pike fish, shrimp, snails, and other fish along the river! They were able to explore the ocean side to collect shells and rocks. The field guide explained some of the items the students gathered such as sea glass, razor clam shells, and even a full-sized horseshoe crab! This is all to prepare the team for this year’s competition, which focuses on the environment and Climate Change!

The Girls Rock Science Club at Deanna G. Taylor Academy encourages teamwork and problem-solving through exciting hands-on STEM activities. In this recent classroom session, students worked collaboratively to manipulate red plastic cups using strings and rubber bands - likely as part of an engaging engineering challenge.
The lively environment promotes active learning, with students visibly engaged in the project. Various materials, such as worksheets and containers, can be seen on the tables, suggesting a dynamic, project-based approach to science education.
Activities like these at the Girls Rock Science Club help develop critical 21st-century skills among young learners, empowering them to explore the wonders of science, technology, engineering, and math! Great work, Girls Rock Science!
Advisors-Mrs. McQueen and Mrs. Fernandes
