Class experience
US Grade 3 - 6
In this two week, eight session Summer Science camp, learners will be fascinated at what they can do with bubbles. They will have the opportunity to blow bubbles to their hearts' content. But not only will they blow lots of bubbles, they'll decide when to pop them and when not. Learners will use their creativity to design and draw bubble-makers for specialized uses. Each activity introduces concepts and skills that build upon what they learned in previous activities and sessions. Learners...
Learners will learn: • the scientific method • surface tension • rules of physics • observe and ask questions • gather data, measure, predict and draw conclusions • design and draw bubble makers • perform different experiments • and much, much more
Being an educator for forty + years, I've taught all subjects to students K-8 which included science classes. I've taught special needs students and designed full curriculum for K-12 students. I've also taught learners online from different countries for almost seven years now. I have a passion for experimentation, imagination and creativity. As a young child, I loved making bubbles while washing dishes and while taking a bath. What kid wouldn't? I think that was the beginning of my love for bubbles. Teaching this Bubble-Ology science camp revitalizes my love for bubble-making, experimenting and having fun. And so will your learner.
Homework Offered
For Day 6 prior to class: Learners should research Daniel Bernoulli, the 18th century scientist and bring 3-5 facts about his scientific principles. Learners should also bring 2-3 questions about his principles to class for open discussion. Learners may want to continue and expand beyond class time on experiments done in class.Assessments Offered

*** SPECIAL NOTE TO PARENTS: You may have noticed that I've not suggested using any food colorings or dyes for the safety of the learner and the protection of their workspace/furniture, etc. If older students with parent permission chooses to use these, it should be done OUTSIDE of our camp and outside in the environment under parental supervision. The learners workspace must be properly covered and protected at all times during the camp so as not to be damaged by any of the materials used in our experiments. *** SPECIAL NOTE TO PARENTS: You may have noticed that I've not suggested using any food colorings or dyes for the safety of the learner and the protection of their workspace/furniture, etc. If older students with parent permission choose to use these, it should be done OUTSIDE of our camp and outside in the environment under parental supervision.

White vinegar is NOT toxic but you have to be careful where you store it because it is acidic. Parents, as a safety precaution, please WATCH your learner. They are NOT to ingest any of the ingredients used in this experiment/classes/camp. Learners WILL NOT be swallowing vinegar in this class but if swallowed it can cause stomach distress. If your learner swallows some vinegar, rinse the mouth out thoroughly and immediately with water.
