• STEP Forensic Science (Session 1 and Session
  2):
  Do you like a good mystery? Are you always the first to figure out who did it and how they did it when you watch a movie or read a book? Here is your chance to become part of a team of forensic investigators. You will collect and analyze evidence from crime scenes, and use logical thought processes and scientific inquiry skills to interpret evidence and explain crimes.
  
  This is a laboratory-based course with class lab work, demonstrations, research, reading and class discussion. You will learn to interpret physical and biological evidence, such as fingerprinting, hair and fiber analysis, impression analysis, blood and DNA analysis, forensic entomology and anthropology. You will evaluate your comprehension and progress, apply your evidence analysis knowledge and work collaboratively to solve major crimes.
• STEP Human Anatomy (Session
  2):
  Did you know that in 30 minutes, the human body gives off enough heat to bring a gallon of water to a boil? Or that The human heart pumps about 70 milliliters of blood per beat, and it beats about 100,000 times per day. The human body is a complex machine made up of important systems that keep us active and alive.
  
  If you were interested in this fact or in the intricacies of the human body, then this is the class might be for you. Students in this course will take a closer look into the main systems of the human body and their important functions and how they all work together to maintain homeostasis/life. Students will perform animal dissections, simulate active scenarios of systems, design body engineering models, participate in hands‑on labs, and work on their final project to construct a fully body system.
  
  In addition to body system overview, students will also be introduced to nutrition, exercise physiology and immunology. This class is a holistic approach to understanding the body and gain of elevated understanding of systems and anatomy.
• PACE It’s Elemental:
  Intro to Chemistry (Session
  1):
  Grab your goggles! In this introductory course we will explore foundational concepts in chemistry such as molecular structure, change, energy, and pH. We’ll discover how all these principles work together in daily life: in food, fireworks, fabric, and more! Students will have an opportunity to engage in hands‑on experiments and learn about some of the fascinating Chemistry studies and research happening on the UW Campus.
• PACE Intro to Physics (Session
  2):
  Ever wonder why you don’t fly off a spinning ride? Or how a skateboard trick seems to defy gravity? In this course, you’ll explore the amazing forces, energy, and motion that shape our world—from roller coasters and rockets to sports and everyday gadgets. This course is packed with exciting experiments, real‑world challenges, and creative builds that will get you thinking like a scientist and designing like an engineer.
