SCIENCE CLUB
Embracing Challenge
BEGINNERS
Science club will offer a chance to do research and experiments cross curriculum. No longer will a lab be chemistry, biology, geology, etc. Labs will demonstrate how different subjects come together. You may also join others in researching topics like energy production, space travel, growing plants, or any thing else that you might be interested in. If there is a topic you are interested in learning, we can help.
​
ADVANCED
Students who excel will be able to design, build, and run small scale experiments as a college level group would do. They will learn how math and engineering are vital to developing new technologies and performing experiments no one has ever done before. This level of work and dedication would be unique at a college interview.
​
If you think you are ready for advanced, be prepared to defend your idea and request. Prove that you know what you plan to do and that it is important and we will look at getting you what you need to try it.
​
This page will be updated as new experiments are done.
PAPER FLU
Spring 2019
Plan:
Due to school letting out over the last two years to flu, we would like to determine (if possible) the highest areas of transfer in the school. Paper slips will be given to represent the flu. This will allow us to not only determine where the likely spread of the illness is taking place but suggests measures to counter it in the future.
​
Results:
One student worked up the data and wrote a report on what she learned.
OTHER EXPERIMENTS 2019
We did a lot of 'kits' as well such as:
Telescopes
Crater Impacts
Orbital motion
Cheese making
Paper chromatography
Ironically - we got shut down for covid (no clubs) in 2020 after the paper flu experiment.
2021-22 - BACK
Rocks - looking at tumbling rocks and the what gets left over
Hydroponics - designing and building their own hydroponics experiments
Electricity - looking at how electricity is generated
