Program Topics   For more pictures of previous Science & Math Challenges Programs click here. Chemistry ? Solve a crime using forensic science laboratory techniques. Work in the Chemistry lab to analyze evidence found at a crime scene. Lansing Community College police officers will explain techniques used to solve crimes. Then, practice forensic science. Physics ? Explore many principles of physics using the Physics lab on campus. Light, color, sound, typology and the motion of objects are common topics. Physiology ? Study exercise physiology using your own body and then begin to understand the structure of muscles, tendons and joints in the Physiology lab. Observe muscle models and explore how muscles work. Mathematics ? Study the mathematics of tessellations, and then construct your own. Or, begin to understand the geometry of spirals and other geometric forms, then construct your own.  This session will help relate mathematics to your world. Computer Science ? Learn computer language and develop a computer program that uses that language. During this session, you will become a computer programmer.
