Workshop: Quantum Effects in Nature
Workshop: Quantum Effects in Nature and The physical periodic table of elements in nature
The universe is both weirder and more reasonable at the quantum level at an Urban Farm like Mezzacello. In this Workshop: Quantum Effects in Nature we explore the way chemicals, materials, math, energy, and physics coalesce and function in the world. Don't freak out, kids really LOVE this camp and workshop series.
In this workshop we will explore how quantum effects like light, electricity, chemical elements and compounds, and molecular, and atomic systems can be managed, controlled and leveraged to do work.
The first portion of the workshop will deal with understanding the way that physics and subtle quantum effects are used here at Mezzacello Urban Farm.
After the intro, the workshop will allow students to experiment with the way we interact with these quantum effects in vision, color, life, biology, and energy via exercises in the BioTech shed (shed 4).
The second portion of the workshop will empower students to use their new found insights to develop functional hypothesis of how the science of the VERY small impact our world in powerful ways.
Finally, the students will use their better understanding of quantum effects to describe how these basic effects can be applied as a useful tool on the farm.
At the end, students will share their perspectives with one another.
