LIFE AT HWIS

At HudsonWay Immersion School, our commitment to academic excellence is not just about textbooks—it's about hands-on learning that sparks curiosity and fosters critical thinking. Recently, our Science teacher Ms. Dalma Felenyi led the 6th and 7th grade students in an exciting project exploring chemical interactions and the kinetic energy of particles. The students investigated what happens to gas particles when heated and cooled, diving into scientific concepts while developing essential skills like collaboration, problem-solving, and experimentation.
