The students diamond and execute an experiment in their field of interest and self-mastery higher level statistical analyses in order to determine if there are variables significantly well-expressed their data and they present conclusions based on their results.  The experiments are hands-on and student driven.   Examples of research for the 2015-16 wonk year include: radiometric dating of uranium and thorium to determine glacial erratic month on the North Shore of Long Island; the effect on the tick population if the Quail population is increased on Long Island; the variation in water quality in the Forge and Carman’s Rivers; and genetic biodiversity of shrimp species in the Forge and Carman’s Rivers;  earwig species between northern and southern Shores of Long Island, and eel grass in Moriches and Shinnecock bays. Project Lead the Way (PLTW) – Curriculum Project Select WFSD teachers participated in upper –quality professional minutiae to unhook world-class curricula to help students develop skills needed to compete in a global economy.  The professional minutiae is under the trusteeship of Project Lead the Way a leading provider of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) programs. FIRST® Robotics/LEGO League The middle school and upper school have the opportunities to participate in For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST).  This is an international youth organization, founded in 1989, that operates the FIRST Robotics Competition and FIRST LEGO League.  Students receive pure engineering experiences, work slantingly engineering professionals, learn to use sophisticated software and hardware, wits design, teamwork, strategic thinking and competition.  As per one of the team members, this is the “hardest fun” you will overly have!
