| Friday at the Sam Noble Museum |
It was so great to see everyone back yesterday for another fun-filled week at Earth Cycles camp! After dinner on Sunday, campers let the good times roll at the bowling alley in Moore. Many students showed off their skills, bowling strikes and spares. The evening concluded with highly competitive games of ping-pong and the NBA finals on television.
This morning the students studied climate change and global warming. Every camper participated in an activity that focused on ice cores: The students analyzed model ice cores to determine what the different layers in the cores represented as well as the reason for the sizes of the different layers. They then talked about global climate change and the data scientists have collected from ice cores in Antarctica that supports global climate change. The students also began working on their final projects today in preparation for their presentations on Friday during closing ceremonies.
Currently, the campers are learning about the lack of available, clean water in many areas of the world. Dr. Mike Soreghan shared some of his experiences with the students about when he traveled overseas to these areas where drinkable water was scarce. With this in mind, the students will end their classes today by creating a water filtration system that aims at attaining clean water.
