YESCI 207 - Mythbusters! (Age 12-15)

Inspired by the hit TV show, in this workshop we will be tackling experiments with the same enthusiasm! Students will focus on learning about and then using the scientific method to test various hypotheses. Can you jump up in a falling elevator and survive the crash? Why can't we invent a perpetual motion machine (and why does everyone still try)? Can you run an engine on a mixture of water and fuel? In this workshop we will tackle our projects using physics, math, and science in order to find the answers! This inquiry calls for seriously curious and independent thinkers who want to figure out HOW things work. All experiments will be facilitated and supervised by adult instructors; and yes, we will play with fire!
