An Eye on Algebra:
Math for Young Scientists (6th, 7th & 8th Grade)

date: TBD, 2024

Cost: $240

Lunch Included!

Age Group: Boys and Girls Entering 6th, 7th & 8th

Time: 9am-1pm

The camp will promote summer learning success with hands-on discovery activities and technology-rich experiences. STEM is the interdisciplinary and applied approach to science, technology, engineering, and math within a curriculum-based framework that engages students in authentic, meaningful learning environments. Campers will have a blast as they conduct experiments, explore their creativity, and challenge their critical thinking skills. Math will come to life right before their eyes!

Math and science work together to help us understand the world. In a fun and interactive manner, this camp will focus on the use of both pre-algebra and algebra in science. In order to see these connections, a series of engaging experiments will be conducted in which students see hands-on the process through which mathematics helps construct meaning from scientific data. Students will see their own data being taken to the next level of scientific inquiry, and find that mathematics is an integral part of understanding the physical world by building roller coasters, seismographs, Newton’s cradle, and lifeboats to explore scientific notation, graphing, dimensional analysis, and algebraic variables in density and Newton’s Laws.
