Summerscience for Girls

在为期两周的住宅夏季科学中为女孩提供夏季科学 为进入九年级的女孩提供的充实方案。 的 该计划将由密歇根大学妇女在 继续教育中心科学计划 学院自然资源学院 工程部和UM信息技术部。 学生将选择三个领域之一的重点项目： 化学、工程或自然资源。 第二年， 增设物理学第四重点专题。 学生 我每天早上花两个小时参加讨论小组， 每天下午在相应的实验室项目中进行10小时的实践 在他们的重点领域。 学生将被引入到 科学研究方法论的概念 这些概念将得到加强和扩大 在重点项目会议期间。 他们将参加 在每天涉及基本模拟到数字的计算机项目中 转换器，用于从简单传感器收集数据并将其转换为 更适合分析的数字信息。 后 收集数据，学生将使用常见的图形程序， 绘制数据。 参与者将能够采取模拟， 数字转换器回到他们的学校，安装在他们的 科学实验室，并指导他人使用。 学生 我还将参加野外生物学之旅， 计划，并实地考察了科技博物馆。 晚上的会议将专门讨论化学职业小组， 地质学，科学教学，工程学，生物学，数学 学生们将有机会与女性交谈， 每个领域的科学家。

Summer science for girls in a two week residential summer science enrichment program for girls entering the ninth grade. The program will be conducted by The University of Michigan Women in Science Program of the Center for the Continuing Education of Women in collaboration School of Natural Resources, the College of Engineering, and the UM Information Technology Division. Students will select a focus project in one of three areas: chemistry, engineering or natural resources. In the second year, a forth focus project area in physics will be added. Students will spend two hours each morning in a discussion group and two hours each afternoon in corresponding hands-on laboratory project in their focus areas. Students will be introduced to the concepts of the scientific research methodology during orientation and these concepts will be reinforced and expanded upon during the focus project sessions. They will participate in a computer project daily involving a basic analog to digital converter used to gather data from a simple sensor and convert it to numerical information more suitable for analysis. After gathering data, students will use common graphics programs to graph the data. Participants will be able to take the analog to digital converter back to their school, install it in their science laboratories and instruct others in its use. Students will also participate in a field biology trip, a mathematics program, and a field trip to a science and technology museum. Evening sessions will be devoted to career panels in chemistry, geology, science teaching, engineering, biology, mathematics and physics Students will have an opportunity to talk with women scientists in each area.
