2007 Workshops
Workshop #1: Get energized! Investigate the science of energy
Date: Saturday, November 18, 2006
Time: 8:30 am – 3:30 pm
Location: Edison’s CTAC facility, Irwindale
Objective: We’ll explore various forms of energy (light, heat, motion, sound, electricity), and how energy is transformed into other forms (potential vs. kinetic). We will also investigate how energy is transferred through ecosystems via the food chain.
Workshop #2: Got power? Discover the sources of energy
Date: Saturday, January 27, 2007
Time: 8:30 am – 3:30 pm
Location: University of Southern California, Los Angeles
Objective: We’ll explore different energy renewable vs. non-renewable resources (biomass, hydropower, geothermal vents, wind, solar, petroleum, natural gas, coal, propane, nuclear). We will also investigate the primary source of biological energy on earth, the sun, and how living organisms are interconnected through photosynthesis and fossil fuels.
Workshop #3: Getting wise: Energy efficiency & conservation
Date: Saturday, February 24, 2007
Time: 8:30 am – 3:30 pm
Location: Edison Corporate Offices, Rosemead
Objective: We’ll explore how energy is used (formation, exploration, production, distribution, consumption, and environmental and economic trade-offs), and how energy is conserved in the natural world. We’ll also investigate new energy efficient technologies and ways to conserve energy at home and at school.
Workshop #4: Making connections: Energy & the environment
Date: Saturday, March 10, 2007
Time: 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
Location: USC Wrigley Marine Science Center, Catalina Island Objective: We’ll explore how energy is utilized in a setting with limited resources, and how to sustain natural communities and the human communities that depend on them. Catalina Island field experiences will promote a better understanding of energy, natural resources, and the environment.
Note: You must attend 2 of the 3 other workshops offered to be eligible to participate in the Catalina Island workshop.
