The EPGY Summer Institutes Middle School Program Physical Science
course will cover topics in elementary physics and the earth
sciences. Possible topics include elementary mechanics (Galileo's
experiments and Newton's laws of motion), thermodynamics, geology,
seismology, and cosmology. Students will be assigned to different
classes according to their prior background in math and science, and
the specific topics will vary from class to class. The course will
include classroom instruction, daily problems and projects, laboratory
experiments, and visits to Stanford laboratory facilities such as the
Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC) and the Lick Observatory. Topics
are chosen according to their accessibility for students at this
level, with an eye towards those of interest to talented and motivated
middle-school students.
