Explorations In Biology
During camp, students will engage in four different laboratory experiences in biology. Lab exercises include working with bacteria, learning to perform and interpret various physiological tests, animal behavior and locomotion studies, and a survey of microorganisms that live in the soils and water. Each lab experience will emphasize the real-world application of scientific research and why it is so important.
