Activities
Food Photography
(6th-8th) How do photographers take such life-like photos of food? In this class, students will learn about the photography tips and tricks that are used in commercial food advertisements. During this class, students will learn how to make and set up a small studio to arrange food to capture the perfect pictures. We will also see how photographers have to fake the aesthetics of a commercial, and race with time in order to capture the freshness of an item. And when time is against us, like when photographing ice cream, how do we adapt? .
LifeLab: Cells, Synapses, & Systems
Students will have hands on Demonstrations of how cells work together to make up the different systems of the human body. We will explore 4 of the systems in the human body, how the individual cell works, and how it works as a team to make up each system. Students will make their own cell models, one system model, and explain how it works with other body systems.
Math Mind
(7th-9th) Are you ready to use your Math Mind? The students will use visual representations and modeling strategies to solve complex problems; a consistent concrete-pictorial-abstract progression; and strong development of both conceptual understanding, place value, and computational fluency so students understand the “how” as well as the “why.” Students will be learning advanced concepts often overlooked in traditional math classes such as sets, relations, functions, Logic, and advanced calculator skills.
