Student Projects

This page showcases the work of Philadelphia High School students at Science Leadership Academy. 

​

Social Studies teacher Pearl Jonas was motivated by the history she learned on one of our walking tours and she developed a new unit on Abolition.  

​

As part of that work, her class visited the Historical Society of Pennsylvania and we took them on a walking tour. 

​

Thier assignment was to develop a project based on what they learned.  Below please find a sampling of these incredibly creative projects. 

​

The projects are placed next to the historical content from which they drew inspiration.
