Zoom Bethlehem Middle School is located at 332 Kenwood Ave. in Delmar, NY. MODULE DESCRIPTIONS Product Design and 3D Printing Have you ever wondered how objects are designed and 3D printed. This course will allow students to take on the role of an inventor and see their designs come to life. Students will design their projects while learning 3D computer modeling essentials. Students will design and print two activities during camp week. Would you believe that you could actually draw a product on the computer and have it produced right before your eyes? Sign up to produce your own design! Andrew Cancio, Instructor Up, Up and Away (Rocketry with a Splash) Blast-off the summer with water rocketry!!! Water rockets are one of the most exciting hands-on science activities around. Students will convert empty plastic bottles into high-flying rockets. Students will have a chance to discover scientific principles such as Newton’s Laws, acceleration, and thrust. A rocket can be defined simply as “a chamber enclosing gas under pressure.” A small opening allows the air to escape, causing thrust. Students will have the opportunity to design, construct and launch a water-powered rocket of their very own! Tim Connelly, Instructor What Does it Take to Win the Gold? Do you get excited about the Olympics? Have you ever wondered how one can achieve such greatness? How does a skier move down a snowcovered ramp at speeds of over 60 miles an hour and launch over two football fields? Why do you glide so easily on ice and why does the rock in curling move such great distances without a force? Hands-on activities will allow students to better understand the science behind the Olympic events and the technological advancements made over the years to improve the performance and safety of athletes. After learning what it takes reach the top, students will engage in their own mini Olympic competitions. Todd Tyler, Instructor Zoom What if you could see the world around you from a different perspective? Would you be able to identify common objects? Would dirt and sand pebbles look like giant mountains inhabited by dinosaur-like bugs, spiders and ants? Join us on this adventure to “see” what happens when we “Zoom” in to observe things. Students will go on indoor and outdoor scavenger hunts looking for overlooked shapes, colors and textures. Observations will be aided by hand lenses, viewing tubes, dissecting microscopes and more. Some of these discoveries will be recorded using digital cameras, iPads, and microscope cameras. Students will also be using some virtual tools on the computer and engaging in “Guess That Object” challenges. Sign up for this session if you want to see the world from a totally different point of view.
