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.
Phyllis Bolt Bannister Student Financial Aid  
Biosphere   An off-campus visit to the Biosphere, including lunch.
Book Fair   Scientific books from Borders.
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.
Wendy Bourroughs Audubon Educator and President of the Tucson Wildlife Council Raptors
CeDRR Tour   A tour of CEDRR's facilities
Challenger   An off-campus visit to the Challenger Space Museum
Gary Chandler Materials Science and Engineering Visit a scanning 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.
IBM   An off-campus visit to IBM, including lunch.
Claire Macha Science Library A visit to the Science Library
Ali Mehrabian Civil Engineering Building and Testing Model Bridges
    We will have fun talking about civil and structural engineering and how bridges work. We will build small model bridges out of tooth picks and Jelly Belly candies. We will design them and draw sketches of our design before building them. We will also test our model bridges and load them until they collapse.
Dani Montague-Judd Desert Archaeology, Inc. 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. 
John Olson IBM and ECE From RAM To ROM: What's Inside My Computer, and How Does It Work?
    The basics of personal computers will be explained interactively by passing around the pieces that go inside a PC. The computer will then be put back together so that the campers can see it work. Afterwards, each camper will be assigned to "be" a part of a PC and they will work together to execute a few instructions.
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.
Ronnie Sidner Ecological Consultant Mammals with Wings
    Students will observe 1) characteristics of bats that are shared with all other mammals, and 2) characteristics of bats that make them unique among mammals. Presentation is lecture/demo format with slide presentation, and discussion with video and tape recordings from live animals.
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.
Emory Williams   Magician
Stuart Williams Arizona Research Labs The Bionic Man
    Combining biology and engineering has led to the development of artificial body parts for nearly every part of the human body. During this presentation students will see, touch and learn about manufactured hearts, knee and hip joints, blood vessels and many other devices that are leading the way for new treatment of disease.
