BIOILLUSTRATIONS

Course Length: Quarter

Credit: 0.25 

Grades: 9-12

Prerequisite(s): None 

Description:  Art meets science in this new hands-on course! Participants will learn to create accurate, detailed, and expressive representations of biological subjects, ranging from plants and animals to microscopic organisms. Emphasis will be placed on understanding anatomy, morphology, and scientific observation to ensure precision in every artwork. Students will use both sides of the brain to gain practical skills in both scientific accuracy and artistic expression. By the end of the course, students will have developed a portfolio of illustrated works that reflect a strong grasp of both artistic and scientific principles with the potential to have their work published! This course is ideal for students with a passion for both art and biology, as well as those interested in pursuing careers in fields such as medical illustration, nature publishing, or scientific communication.

NUCLEAR CHEMISTRY

Course Length:  6 weeks

Credit: 0.25 

Grades: 11-12

Prerequisite(s): None 

Description:   This quarter-long course will give students the opportunity to investigate how a milk-gallon-sized amount of uranium could destroy a city, and we ask ourselves whether and how this energy might be used for good and whether it should be used at all. This course covers investigations of fission within a nuclear chain reaction, stable and unstable isotopes, and the role of the strong force within the nucleus in binding protons and neutrons together. The unit ends with how nuclear chain reactions are controlled in nuclear power plants and explores radiation associated with both enrichment of uranium and waste from nuclear reactors.
