Environment & Ecology Who’s not conscious today of protecting the natural environment? Students learn about recycling, availability of clean water, and the effects of acid rain. They perform water testing, acid rain and hydroponics experiments under controlled conditions. This experience provides a real world simulation of bio-related challenges that students will need to address as adults. Electricity Electricity and electronics are the fundamental technologies of our age. Students achieve an understanding of, and create real experiences with, this aspect of physics and how it relates to the world around them. Students build circuits for varying applications while studying the mathematical principles of circuit design. Using a durable training console with permanently mounted components, students complete a variety of hands-on experiments. Energy & Power The internal combustion engine is at the center of the transportation universe. Students will learn the principles of operation, fundamentals of combustion, and adjustment procedures for the Briggs & Stratton four-cycle engine. They will perform precision measurements on many of the engine components. Mathematical concepts relating to displacement, bore and stroke are studied. Flight Technology What captures the imagination more than the exploration of flight? Students quickly understand that the science of rocketry and flight requires knowledge and application of mathematics and
