The Center for the Advancement of STEM Education at Bridgewater State University
is offering a hands-on science Summer Science Academy focused on biotechnology,
environmental biology and physics for middle school students entering grades
6-9.
The program
allows students to work as scientists and is designed to provide the foundations
necessary for further scientific exploration. Students conduct investigations in
their selected class and participate in extracurricular
activities.
Sessions still
available include: “Whale of a Mystery,” July 7-11; “x-STREAM Adventures” or the
new “Forensics Institute of Bridgewater,” July 14-18; “Up in the Air: The
Physics of Flight,” July 21-25.
A fee of $400
for each session covers all course expenses including lab supplies and materials
(lunch or transportation are not included). A limited number of need-based
scholarships are available. Deadline for registration is May
31.
In “Whale of a
Mystery,” students will test tissue samples sent from a field agent to determine
if they are of illegally hunted, endangered whale species. “x-STREAM Adventures”
is about discovering how land use impacts the physical, biological and chemical
composition of a local New England river.
Students, as
new employees at the “Forensics Institute of Bridgewater” (FIB), receive
training on crime scene investigations. “Up in the Air: The Physics of Flight”
answers questions related to the physics of flight.
