How it works STEM Night Overnight Ops Tour
During the Night Ops Tour your students will visit selected areas of the ship to show various spaces and systems and discuss the science and engineering behind them. As the students move around the ship, they will participate in several hands-on Science stations and demonstrations by our STEM Team to illustrate the science behind the USS Hornet. Tour Locations and Subject Focus: 3 rd Deck Engineering Spaces o Boiler and Engine Room Powering the ship Thermodynamics, energy transfer/conversion, turbines, power o Catapult Room Machinery for launching planes Kinetic/potential energy, hydraulics/pneumatics, mechanical advantage Flight Deck o On-deck part of catapult, launching/recovering planes Kinetic /potential energy, forces, optics (Fresnel lens system) Island o Navigation systems, radar, sonar, sound-powered phones Waves, communications CPO mess o STEM activities/demos selected from the following: Hydraulics/Pneumatics Syringes with water and air; try the different combinations What happens when barrels are the same size? For different sizes, which are easier/harder to push? How would you use these to gain mechanical advantage? How is the air-filled pair different from the water ones? How do the pneumo- and hydro- systems work together in the catapult? Catapults How does a catapult convert energy to launch the ball? How did you decide on your design? What adjustments did you make to hit the target? If you have a heavier projectile, what adjustments would you have to make? How does this related to the catapult/arresting systems? Electromagnetism Magnets, field paper, motor, generator, induction tubes, ring thrower
What do you feel around the magnet? What does it look like? How are electricity and magnetism related? What s the difference between a motor and a generator? Why does the magnet slowdown in the tube? Why does the ring fly with the wire-wrapped ring and not with the split ring? What could this be used for? (Modern carrier catapults) Waves Slinkys and bell jar How is a sound wave different from a radio wave? Use Slinkys to demonstrate the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves; wave behavior Listen to the alarm clock in the jar as the air is removed and allowed back in What do you see? What do you hear? How does this relate to sonar and radar, as well as communications (i.e., space travel)?
