Educator Specific

Biodiesel & Algal Studies Group

Since 2009 Castle Park High students, with Dr. Pomeroy of UCSD, have learned to produce biodiesel from vegetable oil. Students use a particle counter to determine how “clean” the fuel burns and discuss how particulate impacts our global climate. Students present this field data to support the benefits of biodiesel. Our booth, as in years past, will demonstrate the step-by-step process of biodiesel synthesis, discuss the advantages of biodiesel over petroleum and outline the ease of production.

Reptile Behavioral Training Demonstration

Many people believe that reptiles have primitive brains that are only capable of instinctive behavior. If you have ever interacted with a snake or lizard you know they are capable of much more than just instinctual behaviors. We will be answering many questions scientists are only just now posing about these fascinating, misunderstood and grossly underrated creatures! Then you will know the answers to: Are reptiles smart? Can they think and solve problems? Do they have feelings? and much more

Cox Communications

The Cox IP Packet Racer depicts how packets of information blast through Cox’s Gigablast fiber optic network from one point to the other! Participants will build their own “IP Packets” (similar to wooden derby cars) and race them on Cox’s High Speed Internet network. Participants will be able to decorate their “IP Packets” before racing them down the track. This fun and interactive activity helps kids learn about science and engineering concepts.

American Heart Association

Every second counts in cardiac arrest, which can happen at any time. Each year, more than 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the United States. When a person has a cardiac arrest, survival depends on immediately receiving CPR. Unfortunately, about 90 percent of people who suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrests die. CPR, especially if performed immediately, can double or triple a victim's chance of survival. Learn Hands-Only CPR and be the difference for someone you love.
