NASCAR: Science on the Race Track
TBD* (see below): Randleman
The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, NASCAR, is a staple of Southern life. Deeply rooted in the region’s culture, the sport of auto racing claims a long list of victories that range from aerodynamic triumphs on the track to sold-out stands on race day. Originating as the back-roads mode of transport for moonshine, motor sports in the modern age have created a fast-moving career path for specialists not only in automotive design and performance, but also in technology, economics, marketing, public relations, art, finance, accounting, and tourism. Visit NASCAR team shops and motor speedways to meet those who have helped turn a regional sport into a multimillion dollar national industry. Explore the ways in which math and physics work together on the speedway. Enjoy the tales and stories that made cultural icons of the people driving the race-car movement. You will learn ways to connect motor sports to learning in your classroom while immersing yourself in the world of speed. (Two participants to a room.) *Due to NASCAR schedules, the seminar will be held sometime between January 20 and February 8.

Sea Level Rise: The Impact of Climate Change on the Outer Banks
February 11–15: Ocracoke
One of North Carolina’s greatest resources is its coastal region. With more than 3,300 miles of shoreline, this fragile area is on the frontline if climate change causes the seas to rise. Can we afford to ignore this threat? Few issues today are as controversial and timely as the impact of human activity on climate change. Join us on Ocracoke as we study the complex forces at work causing global climate change. Compare current weather patterns with historical data to assess trends of global warming and cooling. How does human consumption of fossil fuels and the production of greenhouse gases affect climate change? How does climate change impact sea level rise? Explore the beaches and marshes along the Outer Banks for a firsthand look at the effect of coastal storms, which have increased in frequency and intensity, to witness what our state stands to lose. Learn ways we can help our students understand and respond to this complex issue in a responsible and powerful manner as we strive to become better stewards of our world.

The Ecology of Barrier Islands
March 16–20: Ocracoke
If our students are going to grow into responsible stewards of North Carolina’s critically important coastline, their understanding of this region has to go deeper than sands, tans, and seafood restaurants. Explore the world of the barrier islands. Barrier islands are typically characterized by low sandy islands that are easily affected by wind, tides, and currents and protect the mainland from these forces. What makes North Carolina’s barrier islands unique is their distance from the mainland and their close proximity to the continental shelf and the Gulf Stream. Learn about the formation and stability of these landforms, the seasonal effects of storms, and how these islands change over time. How do these islands reflect a world of dynamic equilibrium, a world of constancy and change? Compare and contrast the land of the sound with the land of the sea. How do these two regions of the island differ? Investigate the key plant and animal species associated with these two distinct regions. Gain firsthand knowledge and collect classroom activities related to the ecology of barrier islands.

Crime Scene Investigator: The New Sherlock Holmes
March 31–April 4: Cullowhee
Today’s crime scene investigations might cause Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s legendary sleuth, to retract his analysis of, “Elementary, my dear Watson.” In fact, the demands on the investigators are anything but elementary. Investigations require a keen sense of observation, extensive use of the scientific method, and physical and biological expertise. The field is often peopled with multiple investigators, all with their own areas of expertise. Become detectives as we put on the hat of the forensic scientist and determine the facts in a simulated crime scene. Discover how to objectively apply the techniques of physical and natural sciences in examining forensic evidence. Stalk the trail with a famous tracker. Analyze the smallest traces of human evidence using DNA profiling as we become molecular scientists aboard UNC-Chapel Hill’s state-of-the-art traveling science laboratory. Work with a world-famous forensic anthropologist who will help us as we “leave no bone unturned.”

Wonders of the Appalachian Trail
March 31–April 4: Cullowhee
Marked by white blazes or mountaintop cairns, the Appalachian Trail meanders across scenic ridges and valleys for more than 2,100 miles. From the perceptions of millions of hikers, it has gained a reputation as a place of solitude and natural beauty. Study the history of those whose pioneering vision like Benton MacKaye came to see the trail as a “cultural and national treasure.” Explore the diversity of forest growth, flowering shrubs, and wildflowers, as we embark on easy to moderate daily hikes. Experience the trail’s magic to the accompaniment of migrating birds overhead and animals that sometimes share the trail. We will become ecologically aware of how to minimize our impact on the backcountry as we hike the Nantahala Gorge, Stecoah Gap, Wayah Bald, and Siler Bald areas of the Appalachian Trail. The expanded ecological awareness and appreciation for experiential learning we gain on the trail can be shared with students of all ages.

Appalachian Spring Wildflowers
April 21–25: Cullowhee
Come to the mountains at the peak of the spring blooming season and learn how to identify, record, and appreciate the wildflower bounty native to western North Carolina. Take field trips to discover various wildflower habitats in the region, under the able guidance of botanists. Delve into issues related to species diversity, habitat destruction, and wildflower conservation. Learn a logical, systematic approach for identifying wildflowers following a simple, yet precise, key system. Analyze the structure of wildflowers and increase your botanical knowledge and vocabulary. The nature of this seminar makes hiking a necessity, perhaps during soggy or chilly weather, but offers the rare opportunity to gain knowledge of wildflowers while enjoying the beauty of spring in the Great Smoky Mountains.

The Art and Science of Boat Building
May 12–16: Ocracoke
Boat building has a long tradition in coastal North Carolina. Watermen throughout history have refined and mastered the necessary skills to create small and large vessels that ply the sounds and ocean waters. From engaging in coastal trade to pursuing seafood and leisure activities, locally crafted boats represent both form and function. What math and science lessons can we learn from the precise measurements required in boat building? What makes a well-built craft move through the water with grace and ease? Come aboard as we explore Pamlico Sound. Compare and contrast today’s recreational and commercial boaters with traditional crafts. Join us on Ocracoke as we participate in the building of a sea worthy wooden skiff, create individual boat models, tour small boat building operations, and learn about the science and art of this age-old tradition.
