Every ASM teachers summer camp (schedule and curriculum here) includes a field trip to some local materials science place. It might be a heavy industry tour like the one I got to take of a Nucor steel mill in Alabama; a lighter industry tour like the one at REC Silicon refining in Montana; a testing lab like Element here in the Cincinnati, OH area; or an artsy tour like the one I was thrilled to take to the Indianapolis Art Museum a few years back.
The campers got to tour their conservation lab and got a great, materials-focused tour from Gregory Smith. You can hear from Gregory in a video way down after the jump.
I was initially skeptical of the Indianapolis Art Museum tour, wondering just how much science we were going to get from even their conservation lab, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much chemistry, materials science, and even biology there was at work in the lab and at how great Gregory was in explaining it all to us.
