I've never tried infrared photography at sunset so I thought I'd give it a shot. In principle it should work because when the sun is setting, the angle of incidence of the sunlight makes it travel through more atmosphere. This in turn increases Rayleigh scattering of the blue wavelengths much earlier on, and thus the red wavelengths are left to propagate through the atmosphere, which is why sunsets appear red/orange. I took this using my 18-55mm kit lens with a Hoya R72 IR filter; the sun was ~15-20° above the horizon.

A fun morning at Science Rocks camp: kids learned about density, watched eruptions, and worked as a team to build marble rolls.

The annual Science Rocks! summer camp for area middle school students gives them the opportunity to learn about water conservation, health sciences, and even astronomy.

If you’re a parent looking for a way to prevent the chorus of ā€˜I’m borrrrrrred’ in your house this coming summer, consider inspiring your child with an immersion into the world of science at the University of the Fraser Valley.

 

Back by popular demand, UFV’s Science Rocks! summer day camps are designed for local students in Grades 4-6 (as of Sept ’11). Each of the five different camps is structured to encourage the development of scientific problem-solving skills and to help campers learn fundamental scientific principles in a fun, hands-on way.

 

The camps are led by current senior UFV science students or recent alumni, and are supervised by UFV science professors.

 

For returning campers: we have changed the themes for the weeks so that every week includes all the various science areas. In any of the weeks you can expect to do activities from physics, biology, chemistry, mathematics, computer science, geography and kinesiology.

2011 camps:

 

Camp 1: July 4–8, Abbotsford

Volcanoes, Van de Graaff and Vapor

What causes waves?

Does space ever stop?

What causes potholes?

  

Camp 2: July 11–15, Abbotsford

Cryptography, Codes and Crime Scenes

Can fish breathe air?

Why is there liquid inside a blister

Where does weight go when you lose it?

 

Camp 3: July 18–22, Abbotsford

Animation, Animals and Artifacts

Why do mosquito bites itch?

Where do fish go in winter?

Why do camels spit a lot?

 

Camp 4: July 25–29, Abbotsford

Lasers, Light sabers and Lightning

What is a googol?

How does the earth float in space and not fall?

Do rocks grow?

 

Camp 5: Aug 8–12, Chilliwack

The very best of Science Rocks!

For this week we plan to offer our most popular activities from all

the weeks of Science Rocks!

 

Registration forms and additional information — as well as some great photos from last year’s camps — are available online at www.ufv.ca/sciencerocks. Registration opened April 1 and seats fill up quickly!

 

Camps are limited to 30 students each and will run Monday–Friday, 8 am–5 pm. UFV Science students will provide guidance for campers as they explore intriguing scientific phenomena and participate in fun physical activities between sessions.

 

Each individual camp costs $250 (includes all activities and supplies, lunches, t-shirt, and completion certificate). There is a discount if you enroll your child in more than one week.

 

For more information please email sciencerocks@ufv.ca or leave a message at 604-851-6346 and we will get right back to you!
