Ward's "Project Mind over Matter" is a unique and fun way for students to become more inquisitive, more excited about science and better at solving everyday problems. Through the use of "synapse kits," Ward's students acquire the habits and mindset of true scientists by immersing themselves in a multi-sensory science experience. This methodology, which includes scientific exploration, experiments and the application of higher-level thinking skills, ensures a rich learning environment necessary to becoming a successful problem solver. The project helps students link new science concepts to those they have already learned, increasing transferability and application to other areas of their lives.
