The 8th grade enjoyed a day on the water 10 miles out into the Long Island Sound. The students worked with two marine biologists collecting specimens such as flounder, crabs, silverfish, snails, plankton, and squid. Using a variety of instruments, the students did a variety of activities which included testing the water for physical and chemical properties, density, salinity, dissolved oxygen content, temperature, depth, clarity, and mud composition. A gravity corer was used to extract sand and mud samples from the ocean bottom.
THE WORLD ACCORDING TO MS. BRIENZA.
SCIENCE.........It's EVERYWHERE!
Kohei Nawa’s PixCell Deer #24
at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
Kohei Nawa begins with a taxidermied deer, then covers the animal in what he calls “PixCell” beads, a term that combines “cell” and “pixel”. This particular work reflects and refracts whatever comes near, while rendering a quiet, sensitive magical creature even more so. On view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of the “Designing Nature, the Rinpa Aesthetic in Japanese Art” exhibit. PixCell combines the idea of a “pixel”, the smallest unit of a digital image, with that of a biological “cell”.
