Seventh Graders Attend Butterfly Research Talk
On Friday, March 31, Prof. Dave Lohman of the biology department of the City College of New York gave a talk about his research to the seventh grade classes from Mott Hall. The seventh graders went to Marshak Hall, one of the science research buildings on campus. Prof. Lohman studies butterflies and their evolution, particularly focusing on species in southeast Asia. His talk focused on Bayesian mimicry in butterlies and described field work in some of the diverse place he has visited to collect butterflies.

The goal of the Mott Hall School’s curriculum is the development of skilled students who are self-directed critical thinkers.
Mott Hall students are considered young scholars. They learn subject matter through a constructivist and project-based approach using powerful learning techniques such as Socratic dialogues, literature circles, writing for student publications, digital filmmaking and web site creation.
The curriculum is further enriched by its alignment to the Common Core National Standards. Students are offered accelerated special courses and seminars as well as special enrichment electives such as chess, robotics and stock market studies which engage them in real world investigations tied directly to student needs and interests.
Mott Hall has a technology rich environment. In an effort to confront the digital divide, we use the PupilPath online system to give parents and students instant access to grades, attendance, and progress reports.
