Ever wonder what it is like to be a “rocket scientist”? This year, STSSF participants will have the opportunity to participate in one of two fascinating workshops designed to give students some insight into tho world of physical science.
Crystal Growth Workshop. As part of this workshop, we will imitate the environmental conditions suitable to promote the formation of several simple chemical compounds in crystalline form. We will use binocular microscopes to observe the crystal growth. We will also discuss natural environments in which crystal formation occurs.
Light and Spectra Workshop. What is light? White light from the Sun actually includes all the colors of the rainbow. In this workshop we will look at different sources of light and discuss how the type of light we observe is based upon what materials make up the light source, including the chemical makeup of the Sun.
