Math, Marvels, & More - Completing Grades K-2
Liquid States, Number Traits & Creative Greats What can creep up the side of a glass, create its own drops, rise above the rim of a glass without spilling, and expand as it freezes? Water! Can we make it snow in the summertime? Fossilize raindrops? Create a chemical reaction with water? The scientific words we'll use – chromatography, surface tension skippers – all measure up to FUN! Go 'under water' to design a sea-scape city of 3-D art! Hide your sea monsters in collage projects of your own making. Will you float through your dramatic production like a sea serpent or develop your sea legs? Can you count without numbers or calculate without place value? Have you ever interpreted a Peruvian quipu or added in Babylonian? Math didn't just happen! Match wits with the ancients as we explore number systems from all corners of the globe. All the while, looking for the answer to the ultimate life question: How do you get inside a bubble? ECO Academy - Completing Grades 3-8
ECO-nomics + ECO-logy Do you like to make money? Do you want to run a business? Tap your own environmental energy and power a world of (business) change. Apply economic models – supply and demand or the Keynesian model? – and put your business in the lead. Find the "eco" in technology and identify different ways to use and re-use it. Debate ecological issues while you're dabbling in stocks. Design an environmentally friendly product that will bring in money and minimize your carbon footprint. Take your business from financial planning to marketing to production and sales. Scientific inquiry, advertising art, decision-making skills, financial and mathematical interests – all in a day's work for the ECO in YOU! Academy Themes Connect With Physical Training An integral part of each Summer Academy experience, our physical training (PT) is no ordinary play time. Activities are directly linked to each Summer Academy. For example, in Math, Marvels and More, enjoy scooterboard math games and cooperative math aerobics. Space cadets will use teamwork in their cooperative games as they prepare for space travel. No matter the era or interest, PT always spells F-U-N! Cost $430 per 2-week session For information about GRC Summer Academies or to request a brochure, please call 314-962-5920. |
