UPT
TO HOST "SUMMER SCIENCE FOR KIDS"
TITUSVILLE,
May 16
-- It’s
time once again to register for “Summer
Science for Kids” at the University of
Pittsburgh at Titusville.
Sponsored by the Biology and Chemistry
Departments each summer, these two weeklong day
camps provide a fun educational experience to
students entering grades four through twelve.
Students
will enjoy learning about chemistry, biology and
physics through demonstrations, hands-on
projects, laboratory work, and various field
trips. Activities
will include lab observation of mice;
constructing growth curves for mouse pups;
building motors, generators, and levitators;
making muscle wire devices; building bridges,
density columns, roller coasters, ornaments,
steam boats, solar bags, CO2 rockets and tie-dye
shirts; studying parasite ecology and molecular
biology; and taking field trips to Oil Creek and
Oil Creek State Park. Day
Camp 1 is scheduled July 16-20 and Day Camp II
will be held July 23-27.
There is a cost to participate in the
camp, but financial aid is available to students
in Crawford, Venango and Warren counties based
on family income and grade point average. Class
sizes are limited and registration is on a
first-come, first-serve basis.
The deadline to apply is June 15.
