Scientists Sealed Princeton Students In Total Darkness For 4 Days. They Didn't Expect What Happened Next

In the 1950s and 1960s, researchers at various institutions carried out experiments aimed at finding out how people were affected by social isolation and sensory deprivation. One experiment at Princeton University had student volunteers spend four days in total darkness, and while some of the participants experienced hallucinations, the researchers were surprised by the type and frequency of hallucinations and unexpected changes in motor skills, working memory, and sensation.

Top NJ high school soccer coach suspended in champagne controversy as defenders slam ‘absolutely pathetic’ punishment

The coach of the No. 1 girls high school soccer team in New Jersey has been suspended after popping champagne on school grounds following a milestone victory. Paul VI coach Karen Anderson will serve a one-game ban after a video was posted on social media showing her celebrating with what appeared to be a champagne bottle following her 100th career victory Thursday, according to NJ.com . Paul VI, the two-time defending state champions, defeated Notre Dame, 2-0, in the South Jersey Non-Public A quarterfinals. Anderson will serve her suspension when Paul VI (21-1) faces Immaculata (14-4-1) in a sectional semifinal matchup on Monday in Haddonfield. Karen Anderson was suspended for one playoff game after alleged champagne celebration. Karen Patruno Anderson/Facebook “While Coach Anderson did not consume the contents of the bottle, Paul VI does not condone this behavior and recognizes the importance of upholding the standards of conduct expected of our coaches,” Paul VI said Friday in a statement. High school football scandal explodes over woman’s secret recording of player’s grandfather The video has since been deleted from social media, and Anderson told the news outlet that she did not drink from the bottle that team parents gave her after

See new No. 1 in Bucks County big-school high school football rankings

Well, we'll keep trying. The last time we did the Bucks County area big-school football rankings two weeks ago, we trumpeted the fact that we had the same No. 1 team, Pennridge, in back-to-back rankings for the first time all season. Now, again, we don't. The Rams lost for the first time last week, 21-14, to surging Central Bucks South . So, does that put the Titans on top of our list? No? It's 9-1 Central Bucks West , who beat the Titans when they played, taking over as our top dog. (Whether the Bucks want this designation after we've had so many No. 1s come and go is another story). Regardless, we head to the postseason with a reshuffled rankings (for teams in Class 4A, 5A and 6A), but it kind of makes it fun (I guess). Our small-school rankings , for teams in Class 3A, 2A and A, will be out next week. Let's go: 1. Central Bucks West (9-1) Since losing to Pennridge 14-7 in the final seconds of their Week Four matchup, the Bucks have outscored their last six opponents (including CB South, CB East and North Penn), 233-68, or an average of 39-11 per game.

Mullica Hill Fourth Grader Delivers Schoolwide Message Using AAC

New Jersey guidance sets out a responsibility for schools when assistive technology is needed: if a student’s IEP team determines it is necessary, the district or charter school must provide the devices or services at no cost to parents, and must supply items specified in the IEP as soon as possible, according to the New Jersey Department of Education. That policy provides context for communication supports in schools, but the report about Anthony Knauer does not say whether his device is specified in an IEP or how it was funded.

'Heart of a Tiger' freshman lifts Eastside to win

HADDONFIELD - Even with an injured ankle, Iziah Guzman still managed to help carry his team. "The kid has a heart the size of a tiger - one of those big, Bengal tigers," Eastside coach Melik Brown said of the freshman running back. "I love his spirit, his intensity, and I love the way he plays the game." Friday night in the NJSIAA South Jersey Group 2 semifinals, Guzman rushed for 114 yards and the eventual game-winning touchdown in the Tigers' 13-12 victory over defending sectional champion Haddonfield. More: Everything you need to know for the 2026 high school football season Guzman came out of the game briefly in the third quarter after rolling his ankle. Moments later, he was back on the field and, soon after, in the end zone. "It was hurting, but I had to come back, fight for my team, and I got the touchdown," said Guzman, who gained 100 of his 114 yards in a gutsy second-half performance. .oembed-frame { width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0; border: 0; } Iziah Guzman (114 yds, TD) on Eastside’s 13-12 win over @haddonsfootball 🏈🏈🏈 https://t.co/3IBdNiQcdy — Kev Hunter (@Kev_M_Hunter) November 7, 2026 Nothing could keep Guzman or the

Philadelphia state test scores are months late. Now state officials want to change the cut scores.

Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name. Pennsylvania state officials have proposed changing how they score students’ performance on state math and reading tests, making it easier for students to be considered “advanced.” The proposal , which Pennsylvania Department of Education officials shared with the state’s Board of Education Thursday, would have implications for how the state measures student achievement and schools’ success, and would apply to tests students took months ago. It comes after months of uncertainty over delayed test results in Philadelphia, where families and teachers have repeatedly asked officials to release the scores they usually get in August. State officials acknowledged the department’s cut score review contributed to the wait. “This delayed reporting. It’s not great timing,” Brian Campbell, director of the Department of Education’s bureau of curriculum, assessment, and instruction, told board members Thursday. But he said the state was overdue in updating score thresholds set more than a decade ago, and this would create “a new baseline.” Students take state tests every spring to evaluate whether
