Focus on Science could be offered at the middle school level. Past activities covered such topics as inertia, laser light, action-reaction, discovering earthworm required environment and behavior, wind and lightning, what's inside a computer and how the computer works, and a look at the chick embryo lab. Also offered were exploring the Internet and discovering the World Wide Web, an evening Internet presentation for parents and faculty. As part of a Focus on Science a half day in-service is provided for teachers. This is an important part of the program.
Early scheduling is critical.
We are currently limited to six programs per academic year. This is a large group all school activity. Students are introduced to the concept of dimensionality and how it relates to the use of our eyes and mind through depth perception. Special lenses are distributed and used to allow students to create and view true, three-dimensional images based purely on color. The effect is quite striking and never fails to fascinate all age groups.
