LADS: Learning And Doing Science
LADS (Learning and Doing Science) is a program created to extend boys' science education beyond the classroom and develop their appreciation for the pursuit of scientific discovery. Experimenting alongside the students and scientists of Kenyon College, the lads of LADS will watch invisible particles, find the hidden destructive power of gummy bears, and much more! We will learn material that is fun, exciting and totally new.
Available to all middle school boys (grades 6-8). The program begins at 9:00 a.m. and goes until 1:30 p.m. Registration is free, and lunch will be provided.
The Universe All Around You

3... 2... 1... BLAST OFF! This first Saturday will be an explosive start for the year. We will build and launch rockets and make telescopes to watch the stars. Come learn about astronomy and astrophysics - it'll be out of this world!
Registration for the February 23, 2013, session is now closed. If you would like us to put your name on a waiting list, please email Connie Miller at millercm@kenyon.edu and she will contact you if we have any cancellations.

Physics All Around You
Saturday, September 29, 2012
9:00 am-1:30 pm (Lunch provided.)
What do an ice skater, the space station and a centrifuge have in common? Why are light bulbs the shape they are? And why is bungee jumping safer than it appears? We will discover the answers to these questions and more by exploring the world of physics all around us.
