Our engineering curriculum is intentionally designed to spiral from foundational knowledge to advanced application, ensuring content mastery at each level, as demonstrated in our recent robotics and coding unit.🤖 Filled with wonder and curiosity, our kindergartners met the @ozobot and learned to master basic coding and commands.💡Meanwhile, spiral up to grade 5 engineering class, where students are using @legoeducation Spike Kits for complex problem-solving. They brought their robots to life by exploring key hardware components – gyroscopic, distance, and color sensors – and simultaneously using Scratch software to control them. This K–5 progression, led by our Engineering Subject Expert Teacher, Ms. Delaney, prepares our five-year-old Wildcats to be competent in real-world engineering and computational fluency by age ten. #STEMeducation #robotics #coding #youngengineers #spiralingcurriculum #primaryschool #earlylearning #nycprivateschool #wildcatsofmanhattan ##basisindependentmanhattan

🧪 Happy #NationalSlimeDay! 🦠 Lots of kids make and play with slime, but our grade 7 chemistry students know the science behind the stretch. With a deep understanding of polymer chemistry, they had a messy, hands-on lab, turning long strands of molecules into a non-Newtonian fluid. By manipulating the matter and observing its viscosity changes in real-time, they transformed a fun activity into a complex lesson in chemical bonding. Talk about hands-on learning and discovery! 🧬 #ChemistryLab #NationalSlimeDay #PolymerScience #HandsOnLearning #STEMeducation #MiddleSchoolScience #NYCprivateSchool #EducationRedefined #basisindependentmanhattan
