Willimantic Campus

Week 1 (Willimantic) – August 11th to August 15th

CSI: Forensic Scientists
Learn about crime scene investigation and detective work through in-class discussion of actual cases and guest lecture presentations.  Class projects may include solving instructor-created cases through the collection, organization and interpretation of data.  In the past, guest visitors from the local   K-9 unit, the crime scene investigation van, police officers, and attorneys have been a huge hit.  Please note – this course may contain graphic material that some parents might consider unsuitable for their child.

Young Veterinarians

Week 2 (Willimantic) – August 18th to August 22nd

Myth Busters
Separate truth from urban legend with the help of modern-day science in this exciting course.  Answer the age-old question of whether combining pop-rocks and coca-cola equals a cool explosion, debate whether alligators actually grow to enormous proportions in our sewers, and even try a simple test whether bread will always land butter side down.  Students will perform new and exciting experiments everyday.  Unlike the television show, of course, visually spectacular explosions will not take place.
