Details

Name	Department	Information
Rex Adams and Tom Harlan	Tree Ring Lab	Practical Dendrochronology - the TRUE meaning of the universe
		Students will learn how to take a piece of wood that was used in an archaeological site, accurately determine when the tree from which the wood came grew, and utilize that information to reconstruct the history of the site.
Ann Baldwin	Physiology	Blood and Guts!
		Students will learn by, seeing hearing and feeling, how blood flows through the different types of blood vessels in the body, and how molecules, such as glucose and proteins, get from the intestine to the bloodstream, and vice versa. They will have the opportunity to use microscopes and other props to demonstrate what is happening.
Bruce Bayly and Deb Koolbeck	Mathematics and Physics	Hands-on Math and Physics
		Although Math by itself is something people do with their brains, plus paper and pencils, most Math concepts come from the world around us. Numbers, lengths, areas, shapes, and patterns all make more sense when you can make and touch them in real objects. More complicated math comes from the science of Physics, which is about forces and motions of all kinds. We will introduce students to force, motion, fluid flow, sound, light, and other aspects of physics which you can touch and feel the Math in.
Faith Bridges	Mathematics and Computer Science	Computers, calculators, and the internet
		Each camper will have his or her own email address with which to communicate with each other and with friends and family elsewhere. Also, campers will visit interesting web sites and will be able to communicate with scientists at various sites. The draw feature of the graphing calculator will be explored along with other features.
Gary Chandler	Materials Science and Engineering	Visit an electron microscope.
Sarah Dahl and Vic Wells	Microelectronics Lab	Visit a "clean room".
Jane Erin	Special Education	A panel of kids with disabilities to talk about transitions for kids with disabilities into college.
David Gay	Mathematics	Taking Part in the Science Fair
		I will describe the Science Fair and talk about how you can be in it: carrying out a Sciecne Fair project, finding a mentor, putting together a display, and entering the Fair officially. I'll have some sample project displays to show you.
Richard Kissling	Honors Center	How computer technology has made such a difference in my ability to stay active professionally. I will also talk about my experiences with a guide dog in the home and work environment.
Jonathan Levy	Undergraduate	Magician
Patrick McGuire	Center for Astronomical Adaptive Optics	Mirror Lab
		A video and talk on how the mirror lab makes telescope mirrors.
Dani Montague-Judd	Geosciences	Dinosaurs!
		Did dinosaurs run or plod along? We'll use a replica dinosaur trackway (life-size!) to measure how fast dinosaurs moved. Then, we'll go on a world-wide-web-based scavenger hunt to discover more about these fascinating creatures that ruled the Mesozoic Era.
Nilton Renno	Atmospheric Sciences	Exploring our Atmosphere
		We will look at how the atmosphere works. Where does the energy that forces the winds, thunderstorms, dust devils and tornadoes come from. Why is the sky blue, sunsets red and clouds come in different colors and forms? How is the atmosphere of our moon and of our neighbor planets? What color are their sky and sunsets? Moreover, we will look at different kinds of instruments scientists use to probe our atmosphere. Finally, we will see how glider pilots can fly thousands of miles at up to 100 mph just by understanding how the atmosphere works.
Tod Santee	TUSD High School Biology Teacher	Grocery Store Botany
		A look at everything from the plants you buy for Mom to the plants you get for dinner. You will have the chance to explore the things you see everyday but very seldom take time look at very closely. See why they are so important and find out how different they are, how similar they are, and bizarre they are.
Marc Tischler	Biochemistry	How spaceflight affects humans
		An opportunity to view NASA videos, discuss the challenge of a trip to Mars, consider how disabilities may be changed in space, simulate the "no hands" approach to eating in space.
