GEMS (Girls Exploring Math & Science) summer camp and we're rolling out the red carpet with this year's theme, "The Science & Adventure of the Movies." Our camp is for any girl, ages 8-13, to explore math, science, and technology through fun, interactive activities.

NASA Space Grant ESCAPE to Alaska Summer Camp The Alaska Space Grant Program in partnership with NASA invites students and teachers to a summer camp opportunity at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. ASGP/NASA will provide training and experiences for students and teachers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields. The camp is a one-week professional development program for educators of grades 7-12 and a one-week academic summer program for students entering grades 8-12 in the fall. Attendees have the opportunity to choose from two modules - "FIRST Tech Challenge Robotics Training" and "Energy in Alaska." Camp sessions take place in mid-June. Applications are due June 4, 2011.

"Below are the sentiments shared by these current and former students during the segment. "

Students will be able to describe the motion of the particles in solids, liquids, and gases. - The particles of a gas move quickly and are able to spread apart from one another. - The particles of a liquid are able to move past each other. - The particles of a solid are not able to move out of their positions relative to one another, but do have small vibrational movements."

In 2010, the girls entered the worldwide FIRST LEGO League science and engineering challenge, which focused on robotics applied to medical issues. Having decided to work on hand and arm prosthetics, they met with prosthetics manufacturers and doctors.

"AeroLab lessons feature simple foam and balsa aircraft as tools to teach the concepts of force and motion, potential/kinetic energy and centripetal force. The activities allow students to practice important math skills to determine average speed and distance flown. All labs are aligned with middle school physical science and math standards and are "S.T.E.M. Compliant." The labs feature conceptual activities in the physical sciences to provide opportunities for students to make predictions, collect data, graph results and draw conclusions, as well as participate in lessons designed for directed and guided inquiry."

"sites that are worth taking the time to explore deeper. Below is my collection of FREE sites and blogs that I have 'deemed' as worthwhile and of quality that support the standards through lessons, performance tasks, strategies and other resources. (In no particular order)"

"Big Ideas videos bring to life the "big ideas" of Earth science - the nine core concepts that everyone should know. Teachers can use the videos in many ways. For example: Use "Why Earth Science?" to introduce the importance of Earth science to your students, their parents and guardians, and your school's guidance counselor."

"The site includes really well done lessons, activities, practice pages (online), study aids, glossary, and word problems. Algebra Lab is like a free, living textbook. It has enough substance to help students work their way through algebra, while understanding the connections to how that algebra is used in a practical sense."
