from 3:00 - 5:00 p.m. Students can come to just one part or all three. Each part is $50. Camps are limited to 2-4 students, so reserve your space soon.
Exploring Galileo:
How did he accurately measure time without a watch or sun dial? How did he prove the planets rotate around the sun? Why is he called the Father of Science?
Session 1: June 21, 22, 23 from
3:00 - 5:00 p.m.
Exploring Newton:
What did Ancient Greek Fables teach him about chemistry? What can he teach us about light, gravity, and the motion of the tides? What did he mean when he said, "I am standing on the shoulders of Dwarves?"
Session 1: July 12, 13, 14 from
3:00 - 5:00 p.m.
Exploring Einstein:
What does E=MC² really mean? What were his epic ideas about space, time, matter, and energy? What is relative about relativity and why do we care?
Session 1: August 23, 24, 25 from
3:00 - 5:00 p.m.
Fee:
$50 per afternoon per student (cost includes supplies)
