Forensic Chemistry – Forensic chemists analyze collected evidence to identify it as a part of solving crimes. In this workshop, you will learn how to identify mystery powders, soil samples, dyes and more just like forensic chemists who help catch criminals.

Cryptology: Making and Breaking Secret Codes – Do you and your friends have secret signs or hand signals that convey messages among you? Learn how to use numbers, symbols and patterns to make your own secret codes. Code-making and breaking has been used in secret communications for centuries. Learn how the experts do it!

Afternoon classes

Select first choice

Growing Up Insect: Exploring the Frontiers of Bug Biology – Have you ever wondered why bees have queens or what makes caterpillars turn into butterflies? If you have, then this may be the class for you. We will discuss the evolution and regulation of insect growth, talk about some of the different hormones that regulate insect life cycles, discuss how we already control them to our benefit, and explore what we still don’t understand about the way that bugs work. The class will involve interactive discussion, mini-experiments and a chance to hold giant cockroaches and really big moths.

The Forensic Anthropology class is now full.
