2023August 04, 2023Marine Science Course Description: Marine
Science students will "dive" headfirst into one of the world's
least-explored places - the ocean! In this camp, we will take a
multi-disciplinary approach to learning and incorporate studies in
chemistry, oceanography, ecology, and marine biology to learn about
Earth's amazing seas and the animals and plants that inhabit
them.Campers will begin their week by investigating water and
discovering how its unique properties shape our oceans, currents,
and biomes both under the sea and at the beach. We'll then shift
into marine life and explore food webs and marine adaptations,
paying special attention to survival strategies such as mimicry,
camouflage, and bioluminescence. Later on in the week, we will take
a closer look at the anatomy and physiology of ocean predators -
campers will have the opportunity to dissect fish, squid, and
sharks to compare their body structures and functions to their
niches within the food chain.
We will round out our week by looking at humankind's impact on the
ocean as a whole. Campers will engineer an environmental disaster
in the form of an oil spill and then brainstorm methods to clean up
both the water and the population of affected shorebirds. We will
also study water pH, ocean acidification, and its effects on
shell-based marine life. -Genetics -Course Description: -In Gene to
Genome, students will learn the fundamentals of genetics, centering
on the transfer of information through the Central Dogma of Biology
(DNA--' RNA--' Protein). Specifically, students will focus on
heritable diseases and the mechanisms by which they are inherited.
The course begins at the molecular level and zooms out to
organismal inheritance and genomic studies.
The course will culminate with a presentation at our very own EU
Genetics Conference! Students will take on the role of researchers
presenting on a heritable disease to their peers and families, who
will take on the role of colleagues in the field.Our courses are
interactive, use videos and images, and, most importantly, include
hands-on activities such as building model systems using candy and
household items, extracting strawberry DNA and observing it under
microscopes the students build, and engaging in lab activities and
demos in order to explore both the molecular and organismal aspects
of inheritance.
Campers will explore careers in genetics on Thursday and see what
the praxis of our studies looks like in the professional world. The
culminating project will be a presentation to peers and parents on
the heritable disease that students have researched as we explore
each aspect of our curriculum.Cardiology Course Description:
-Scientists will uncover the complexities of the cardiovascular
system through a wealth of interactive and inquiry-based
experiments, and project-based, hands-on activities. The Cardiology
program offers your budding scientists the opportunity to deepen
their understanding of body systems. It is the perfect bridge
between our Anatomy and Physiology course, and prior to enrolling
in Neuroanatomy.Young scientists will explore how the function and
structure of the heart impact blood circulation and nutrient
transport. In addition, scientists will study the impact of disease
on the cardiovascular system. Scientists will have the opportunity
to create models detailing anatomy, engineer a heart, and make
connections to other body systems that will inspire them to want to
investigate more! -In addition, scientists will participate in
truly hands-on activities, such as sheep and cow heart
dissections!RESPONSIBILITIESIn-person Camp Responsibilities include
teaching the Education Unlimited -curriculum, supervising campers
both in and out of the classroom, organizing and leading classroom
labs, and executing a finale showcasing student work at the end of
camp. -Instructors will also be responsible for tracking student
work and handing in any deliverables to the camp director and EU
home office. -In addition to teaching responsibilities, instructors
should be available and willing to assist the camp director with
active supervision, recreational activities, and some
administrative tasks. Instructors should be mature, reliable, and
able to work well with fellow staffers. Instructors are also
expected to act as mentors and will be asked to assist with field
trips and guide students on excursions. With the support of the
entire staff, instructors are responsible for the health and safety
of students, in addition to fulfilling instructional objectives.At
all overnight programs, instructors have the option of commuting to
camp each day or staying overnight on campus. Overnight staff
members will receive full room and board and will be expected to
help with evening supervision duties.Qualifications:Instructors are
usually year-round science -teachers, are studying science at the
graduate level, or have some other significant teaching/mentoring
experience in the area of cardiology. -
