summer programs for middle schoolers

<p>This year’s ‘Sensing Our World’ program for middle school students is entitled “Science Through Time”, and is scheduled for June 20-24, 2011, from 9 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 9 a.m. until the symposium at lunchtime on Friday.</p>

<p>We’re going to be exploring themes from the Earth’s past, present, and future in biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, and geology…scientists looking to the past to understand the world today, and how, by grasping current processes and trends, they make predictions about the future. The students will study skeletal structures at the Museum of Biodiversity, deal with the complexities of ecosystems, and tackle issues related to climate change.</p>
