Vacation Program Descriptions
| Friday (April 12th) |
| Morning | Newton's Cradle: We'll experiment with Newton's laws of motion, particularly conservation of momentum | Robotics: With Lego Mindstorms you'll build and program a robot. You'll learn the basics of programming then set your creation loose! |
| Break | Jellyfish: Jellyfish. |
| Afternoon | Plastic Jellyfish: How do jellyfish fit into the ocean ecosystem, and what's the big deal about plastic bags? |
| Tuesday (April 17th) |
| Morning | Propulsion Power: Go go go! Make a car that moves under its own power. | Robotics: With Lego Mindstorms you'll build and program a robot. You'll learn the basics of programming then set your creation loose! |
| Break | Pop rocks: A burst of energy in your mouth. |
| Afternoon | Coral Reefs: Coral reefs often come up when talking about ocean life, but what's really so special about them? |
| Wednesday (April 17th) |
| Morning | Zipline Racers: Just how fast can you make yours zoom? | Robotics: With Lego Mindstorms you'll build and program a robot. You'll learn the basics of programming then set your creation loose! |
| Break | Shark-infested Jello: The snack that bites back. | Afternoon | Shark Evolution: It's hard to get the full story from fossils. Try your hand at the bizarre whirls of the helicoprion and learn the real reason we know the megalodon is extinct. |
| Thursday (April 18th) |
| Morning | Bernoulli's Ball: By manipulating high and low pressure air, you'll gain the ability to levitate objects. | Robotics: With Lego Mindstorms you'll build and program a robot. You'll learn the basics of programming then set your creation loose! |
| Break | Bubble tea: Roundly delicious. | Afternoon | Depths of the Ocean: It can be hard to picture just how vast and deep the ocean is, but we have just the picture for that! |
| Friday (April 19th) |
| Morning | Static Power: Static electricity is a lot stronger than people realize. We'll do experiments to show this invisible force's surprising impact on the world around it. | Robotics: With Lego Mindstorms you'll build and program a robot. You'll learn the basics of programming then set your creation loose! |
| Break | Seaweed Snacks: Eat some algae. | Afternoon | Coastal Catastrophes: Eroding beaches, wilting mangroves, cranky crabs...what's going on? |
