D75-18-298: The Science of Monsters
Science (STEM) 2018/2019
Description: From the mythical beasts of ancient Greece to the vampires of the Twilight saga monsters have captivated us for millennia. Participants will journey into the forefront of science, where some favorite figures of horror may find real-life validation. What caused ancient Minoans to create the tale of the Minotaur and its subterranean maze? Did dragons really exist? What inspired the creation of vampires and werewolves, and why are we so drawn to them? Employing scientific research and hands-on activities, we will question and explore the history behind these fantastical fictions and our hardwired obsession with things that go bump in the night. Recommended for Middle School and High School teachers. A certificate will be issued upon completion of the course.
