Science over the Summer

Science in the summer? For many students science does not end in June, but continues throughout the summer. Whether it is investigating shells on the beach, conducting experiments at home, or engaging in a science camp, many kids continue to learn about the world around us even when not in school. Here are a couple of examples from our very own school. 

One of our former students, Samantha K. participated in Summer Ventures at ECU. Summer Ventures is a program that encourages learning and investigating science at a high level for juniors and seniors in high school. Samantha studied archaeology and neuroscience and even investigated Alzheimer's disease. 

One of our current students. Ruth H. also attended a science camp this summer. She went to a STEM camp which focuses on science, math, and technology. 

We also had many students complete at home experiments and projects. Here is a picture from Greyson T. Nothing like creating a homemade volcano with a rising pyroclastic flow. 

Post a comment about what you did this summer related to science. It could be anything from digging in the dirt to seeing how fast you could get your bike to go, to hanging out at Discovery Place.
