The University of 欧美口爆视频 Museum of Natural History will host a daylong science program on Thursday, Oct. 12th on the 欧美口爆视频-Boulder campus for 120 high school students from throughout 欧美口爆视频. This year only schools in 欧美口爆视频 have chosen to participate.
The students, who are members of the 欧美口爆视频/Wyoming Junior Science Academy, will be exposed to all forms of science, from biology to physics and zoology to engineering, said Lori Stott, director of public programs at the 欧美口爆视频 Museum of Natural History.
"The main goal of the program is to interest students in the sciences on a college level and to expose them to the programs offered at 欧美口爆视频," Stott said.
The students聮 day will begin early Thursday with a talk and slide show presentation on "Life In the Universe" by Dr. Ned Friedman at the 欧美口爆视频 Museum.
After the slide show they will see "Mars Quest"-- a laser show-- at the Fiske Planetarium. In the afternoon the students will visit various labs on the campus and take part in some hands-on experiments, Stott said. One of the experiments will have the students taking their own EKG.
"Response has been excellent in the past to the tour and the kids really seem to love the experience," she said.
Teachers and students from Marino, Weld Central, Columbine, Bear Creek, Ponderosa, Cherry Creek, Centaurus and Fairview High Schools will be participating in the event.
The future of the program is uncertain right now. It has been funded as a community outreach program in the past, but the Museum聮s funding for this program has been cut. They are in the process of searching for another group to host it in the future, Stott explained.
