Ecology is all about interactions between organisms and their environment. In this class students will get hands-on experience learning about local biodiversity while observing nature on our mountaintop campus. We will discuss the issues of invasive species, find and identify them, and learn what can be done to stop them. We will also focus on […]
In this “hair raising” class, students will learn all about the weather around us. From why it rains to how a hurricane forms, they’ll learn about many of our planet’s most interesting weather phenomena. Students will even have the opportunity to (safely) touch lightning! Class runs from 9:30am – 1:30pm, Fridays, October 3 – November […]
The way things fly, move, and fall – are all due to physics! Experiment with rocketry, roller coaster design, and Newton’s Laws of Motion. Learn about how physics enables things to stay aloft, both natural and manmade. See how nature has inspired modern designs of airplanes, rockets, and vehicles. Every action has a reaction, and […]
