Summer Camp 2018

Heart Week 1 and Brain Week 2

This week will cover the cardiac muscle/Brain.  Power point presentation will be presented to the students two to three times a week on the heart.  Students will learn the anatomy and physiology of the heart/Brain.  Depending on age, student will color and/or draw the cardiac muscle and label.  Students will also look at prepared slides of the cardiac muscle/Brain tissues.  Students will learn through songs stories and brain teasers.  Students will handle the ribs /skull and identify its parts.  Students will be given scientific notebooks where they will learn the proper notebooking techniques/documentation and apply the scientific method in the process.  Students will also be offered  the opportunity to  perform research on an aspect of the muscle that interest them.  At the weeks end students will present what they have learned to their peers and parents on availability. 

​

Central Dogma Week 3

Students will learn about replication, transcription, and translation of deoxyribonucliec Acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), respectively.  Students will engage in hands on activities that will help them understand the and retain information (building helix models of  DNA, creating their own translational code using their names etc.).  Students will also learn how sugar is made and will be given the opportunity to make sugar.  As with previous weeks, students will use their notebooks where they will continue to apply notebooking techniques/documentation and apply the scientific method in the process.  Students will also be offered  the opportunity to  perform research on an aspect of the genetics that interest them. 

​

Cancer Week 4

Students will learn about the plant and animal cells and how it ties into genetics.  Students will learn about the normal function and dysfunction of the cells and learn about protein markers used to identify cancer cells.  Students will learn the causes and functions of cancer cells.  Students will learn through stories and hands on activities on the functions of cancer cells and how they spread.  As with previous weeks, students will use their notebooks where they will continue to apply notebooking techniques/documentation and apply the scientific method in the process.  Students will also be offered  the opportunity to  perform research on an aspect of the genetics that interest them. 

 

 

 In all classes videos and power points related to the subject matter will be shown. Students will engage in hands on activities daily and notebooking  Also careers opportunities will be discussed.  Students will also learn proper lab safety rules.  Students will enjoy games and fun and enjoy many brain teasers that will help improve  learning.
