NSF Young Scholars at FMC

弗朗西斯·马里恩学院将为25名12年级学生发起一个为期三周的青年物理寄宿项目。该项目通过为期三周的现代物理寄宿暑期研究夏令营和一个每学年跟进活动的每月计划。夏令营包括课堂讨论、实验室练习和图书馆研究，所有这些都是为了鼓励学生发挥研究人员的作用。学生们首先研究原子光谱，然后进行旨在发现更多关于原子核结构的实验，最后该项目以基本粒子物理和核子的夸克模型的研究结束。职业探索活动包括特邀讲师、图书馆研究和实地考察，以使学生接触到各种科学职业。

Francis Marion College will initiate a 3-week residential Young Scholars project in Physics for 25 students in grade 12. This project introduces high school students to the excitement and methodology of scientific research via a three-week residential summer research camp on modern physics and a monthly program of school year follow-up activities. The camp includes classroom discussions, laboratory exercises and library research, all designed to encourage students to function as researchers. Students begin by investigating atomic spectra, follow with experiments designed to discover more about the structure of the nucleus, and finally the project concludes with a study of elementary particle physics and the quark model of the nucleon. Career exploration activities include invited lecturers, library research and field trips chosen to expose students to a variety of scientific careers.
