Science Enrichment
Spring 2012 Semester
| Catagory | Science Enrichment |
| Course Name | All Insects Great and Small |
| Teacher | Forberg |
| Description | From the backyard to the Rain Forest, the world of Entomology is full of many creatures; big and small. Together, we will take an interesting tour and learn about the many insects of our world; their fascinating habitats, eating habits and unique struggle of survival. Each week we will learn about different insects from different parts of the world; explore their location and the many fascets of their life. We will conclude each class with a fun, artistic project depicting our insects. By the end of the semester, each child will have their own Investigative Journal recording their incredible tour of the entomology world. So, join us for a tour unlike any other! |

| Course Name | Goop, Glop, & Airplane Wings |
| Teacher | Navarro |
| Description | What do spaghetti and airplane wings have in common? Why does goop bounce like a solid, yet flow like a liquid? Plastics, my student, plastics – or what scientists call polymers. From the food we eat (cellulose), the clothes we wear (rayon), our car doors (thermoplastics) to our toys (polystyrene), we are surrounded by long chain molecules called polymers, or what we commonly call plastics. We will make different polymers that flow, bounce, crack, snap, or do it all, plus we will investigate how to make the cool world of materials work for us. We will have fun chemistry – we might even eat some of our products. Deb Navarro has a BS in Chemistry and worked as a Research Chemist in Polymer and Thermoplastics Research at Whirlpool Corporation and Dow Chemical Company. She is currently teaching math for Learning Vine. |
