School Name

This course will invite students to combine fundamental science and math concepts. The course will challenge students to design and participate in experiments to prove or disprove theoretical constructs. We will explore dynamics, kinematics, fluids, electricity and magnetism. Investigations will range from the laboratory to the outdoors. Students will learn and develop their skills in observation, argument, experimental design, measurement, analysis, communication, and critical review. The objective of this course is to have fun and challenge you on multiple levels. The outcome is to position you to thrive in your future academic endeavors.

This course will combine the exploration of the forces and factors that affect oceanic processes with building a stand-up paddle board. Each day we will begin with discussion and modeling of different ocean phenomena: isostacy, solar heating and albedo, light in seawater, stratification, waves, coastal geomorphology, water masses, water quality, and bathymetry and sea-level rise. After lunch, the class switches modes to build wood-composite stand-up paddle boards. The final project is a trip to the Jersey Shore to observe and experience much of what we have studied on campus.

Our 2020 program, Elevate, sparks excitement and inspiration as children engage in hands-on challenges, discover world-changing inventors, and build their confidence as creators and innovators.
