Candid Student Reports


The following (emails) were written by members of the Modeling Your World, Session B, Summer 2000 during the fifth day of the program. Some elements may have been removed for various reasons, but the text that remains is in the student's own words.



I had loads of fun today from making water on 
the computer to playing with electrons a hope 
I can come back next year.


-Kendall
Comments: Today we learned how to make molecules
on MacSpartan. We also learned about the peroidic 
table and how molecules can form. We did a model 
of water as an example. After break, we played a 
game where we had to join hands in a circle and 
unravel ourselves to explain annealing.We also 
played around with electrons to see what electric 
charges could do. We had a lot of fun on our last 
day here in Modeling Your World.

Today we had fun modeling water (H20) in MacSpartan
and playing with electrons in Surface. We had a 
good time at camp this year and hope to come back 
next year.

It was much easier to breathe today.  I enjoyed 
the activities today and I think we should have 
even more outdoor activites.  I think in the future, 
there should be more activities.  I have trouble 
seeing Tissue (a computer) and I get headaches 
looking at computer screens with my glasses on.  
But oveerall I enjoyed this camp.
Thanks!

Today was our last day at Modeling Your World. 
In that case we looked at how electrons repell 
from each other we also looked at how atoms form 
molecules. We learned how to use programs.

-Tiara
Today was our last day in this class and we 
learned alot this week.  We learned all about 
science and math and environmental issues. Today 
in particular we worked with chemistry and created 
a water molecule on the computer. We figured out 
many different programs on the internet, STELLA, 
MacSpartan, and Sim Surface.  We had a lovely time 
and enjoyed ourselves immensely.  We also 
appreciated the time and ENERGY that our 
instuctors spent planning and teaching us. 
Thank You!
