In this hands on science summer camp, kids will explore exothermic reactions. We will learn what makes something exothermic versus endothermic. Kids will learn to keep a lab report and the basics of the scientific method. We will discuss lab safety to ensure that each learner knows how to stay safe while learning new things. Each class will begin with an overview of the topics to being covered. Then, its time to dive into some fun experiments. Students are encouraged to get hands on and ask questions as we go. Videos and lab sheets will be utilized within the camp to help further the concepts being taught. Experiments to be done are: Day One: Steel Wool and Vinegar Exothermic Reaction Day Two: Hot Ice Day Three: Elephant Toothpaste
Learning Goals
Students will learnt he basics of lab safety and the scientific method. They will learn to fill out a lab report and generate a hypothesis. Students will learn the difference between an exothermic and an endothermic reaction.

Supply List
Lab sheets will be uploaded to the classroom. Other supplies needed for experiments include: Steel wool thermometer glass jar gloves vinegar 16-20 oz plastic bottle 6% or lower hydrogen peroxide solution (this will produce the biggest reaction but can be spendy so pharmacy grade solution [found at Walgreens, Walmart, etc] will work as well but with a smaller reaction Yeast warm water liquid dish soap baking soda large sauce pan mixing spoon smooth surface Optional: food coloring funnel *Hot ice requires cooking on a stove top and younger learners may require supervision for this experiment*

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I enjoy teaching literature classes that make learning the greats fun and interesting. I love teaching Shakespeare and creative writing. I also enjoy home-based science classes. I have been in education for years. I began teaching early childhood education in the school system in San Diego. I moved on to teach middle grade children. Most recently, I worked as a Children's Director and oversaw the entire K-5th program. I have also taught in many home school co-ops, where I worked with al age groups. I have a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and a minor in British literature. I believe that kids learn thru all different types of media. It is important to remember that not every child learns the same way. By making education fun and engaging, kids will be excited to learn! When I am not spending time with my own two kiddos hiking or swimming, I am usually playing my cello or walking my Irish wolfhound. He is as big as a small pony!Reviews
