Exciting Summer Science Experience for Middle Schoolers

For those middle school students whose interest might be piqued by rocket launches, helium leaks and light-bulb moments, the Summer Science Experience at Westminster School offers them the opportunity to conduct real experiments and see the results. The one-week day camp, which is in its third year, will have students collecting, analyzing and presenting data about their experiments, including the effect of launch velocity and angle on rockets, the rate at which helium leaks from balloons and the efficiency of different light bulbs.
 
Veteran science teacher and Westminster Science Department Head Lee Zalinger and two high school counselors will teach the Summer Science Experience. Students will perform age-appropriate experiments in state-of-the-art, air-conditioned science labs in Westminster’s Armour Academic Center and in outdoor settings in the Simsbury area.
 
This year, the camp will run from July 22 through July 26. The deadline for registration is June 22.
 
For additional information about the camp and registration, contact Lee Zalinger at lzalinger@westminster-school.org or call (860) 335-2523.

The Summer Science Experience is also on the Web at www.westminster-school.org/sse and on Facebook at SSE Westminster.
