Math and Science Camp: Global Warming
Tell a Friend!
Who: Grades 7-8
When:
June 9-13, 9:00 a.m.-Noon
How Much:
$250
Instructor: Matthew Casey and Matt Bardoe
What is global warming? How do we use math to show its existence and measure its causes and effects, how much can we do to change it, and how does it affect our lives in Chicago?
Led by Latin School teachers Matthew Casey and Matt Bardoe, students will investigate the math and science of global climate change, green technology, and alternative energy sources. Designed for students with a strong background and interest in math and science, we will explore the issue of global warming through lab exercises, lectures, and field work.

Physics: Electricity, Light, and Magnetism
Tell a Friend!
Who: Grades 11-12 Prerequisite: Physics: Mechanics
When:
July 7-25, 9:00 a.m.-1:30 p.m.
How Much:
$785
Credit: 0.5
This course will concentrate on providing students with practical and historical examples of electromagnetic and optical phenomena. Topics to be covered include electric fields, circuits, magnetic fields, inductance, and classical optics. Students will learn techniques for algebraic problem solving and graphically representing data. Laboratory work will supplement lecture by allowing students to apply theory to solve problems.
