• H20 Species Spies: Biology camp on Stream Ecology

  Students will learn the tools of the trade to be a stream ecologist. They will explore the organisms that we can see, and those that we can’t, that live in our local waters. Students will find scrapers, shredders, gatherers and filterers and predators that live in the water. Water quality and health will be determined by which organisms are thriving. Students will collect, observe, and analyze species that live in a freshwater stream that is within walking distance to the ConocoPhillips Science Building.

• Bone Detectives: Forensic Anthropology camp

  Welcome to the world of forensic anthropology! Collect human skeletal remains (plastic) and personal items from a field setting, as well as laboratory analysis of these items. Hands-on lab activities include blood spatter analysis, microscopic hair analysis, shoe impression recovery, and analysis. Campers  apply the above concepts to a specific forensic case they are reconstructing as a group. During the last day, we will go over their interpretations of this case based on their experiences with the hands-on lab activities.
