Nature is the best laboratory for learning about nature. For ten years, every student at Wadsworth Middle School has been looking forward to his or her turn to attend a threeday science camp.Science camp is important to the students, and we must raise the money necessary to save it.
Without science camp, students will miss out on a unique learning experience. In science class, they learn to identify rocks by picking them up out of a box.Science camp also lets students experiment with different forms of energy. For example, students get to build miniature (微型的) steam engines that are powered by campfires. They also make solar panels that heat camp water. These experiences would be tough to create in a classroom.
Science camp is for everybody, and it won't be saved unless everybody helps raise money for it. To get started, Principal Jeffries and the student council could set up a "science camp fund (资金)" at a local bank. Every year, science camp costs $3,000.
Some people say it's too much work to save science camp, but the fact is that if we all help out, we can reach our goal easily. For example, we could hold a talent auction (拍卖). By washing cars, babysitting, or using other talents, students can meet the goal. We could also hold a bake sale. Students could even ask local businesses to sponsor them.
If we all work together, we'll easily raise the money to save it.
A. Students can raise money in many ways.
B. Now it might be canceled because of budget cuts.
C. They investigate the world through handson science.
D. Science camp is perfect for creative and curious ones.
E. Science camp is a great tradition that deserves to be saved.
F. That sounds expensive, but if every student raises just $10, the fund would be filled.
G. At science camp, they learn to identify rocks by finding them in mountain sides or river beds.
