2009 ASMS Internship Presentations

The 2009 Alabama School of Math and Science internship program has officially come to a close. On Wednesday May 25th Meghan Ange and Tim Diestelkamp presented their work to an audience of ASMS students, staff and administration. Both students developed two demonstrations and two activities for our visitors to do. The theme for this year was energy conservation / going green. The activities and demonstrations produced by Tim and Meghan included biodiesel production, turning CO2 into baking soda, temperature inversion and pollution, environmentally friendly solvents, CO2 as a greenhouse gas, oil spill cleanup, water testing for metals and quantity of coal burned to run household appliances. Their activities will become a part of the Exploreum’s regular rotation of interactive, enlightening and exciting educational materials.
