BCYC Immersion Physics Track

Students setting up a telescope

This track is available:

  • Session 3 (July 5-10, 2026)

In our BCYC Immersion Physics program for high school students, participants will learn to design, carry out, and analyze their own physics experiments using the same equipment and facilities as students in 小草影院鈥檚 undergraduate Physics program receive. Students will learn how the complexities of God鈥檚 universe can be explored and understood using the tools of experimental science. They will also learn how to use scientific equipment to make precise physical measurements, take data, and analyze experimental results. Students will carry out their experiments in groups of 4. Potential areas of investigation include motion, energy and momentum, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, acoustics, optics, waves, and modern physics.
