In this 4-day camp, we discuss four things that good scientists do: (1) Ask questions; (2) Make observations; (3) Make predictions; (4) Record their work. Students will practice these four behaviors as they experiment with exciting chemical reactions and engineering challenges, using common, everyday objects you can find at home. Through interactive slideshows, videos, books, and simple experiments, students will explore what "science" is, and will be encouraged to think like scientists. In each class, I will -Introduce the topic (5-10 minutes) -Read a short story or watch a video about a scientist (15-20 minutes) -Perform an experiment (15-25 minutes) ******** DAY 1 ******** TOPIC: What do scientists do? Introducing the 4 behaviors of scientists BOOK: "On a Beam of Light" by Jennifer Berne FEATURED SCIENTIST: Albert Einstein EXPERIMENTS: Hopping Corn & Colorful Volcanoes ******** DAY 2 ******** TOPIC: Making Observations BOOK: "The Watcher" by Jeanette Winter FEATURED SCIENTIST: Jane Goodall EXPERIMENTS: Fizzy Balloon & Magic Milk ******** DAY 3 ******** TOPIC: Asking Questions VIDEO: How do Scientists Know So Much? FEATURED SCIENTISTS: Galileo Galilei & Mary Anning EXPERIMENTS: Drawing Your Hand ******** DAY 4 ******** TOPIC: Predicting & Recording BOOK: "Ada Twist, Scientist" by Andrea Beaty FEATURED SCIENTIST: Ada Lovelace EXPERIMENTS: Foil Boats

Supply List
I will provide a PDF of science journal pages and detailed supply lists upon enrollment. Most materials are item you can easily find around the house (tape, paper, aluminum foil, etc.). There are a few small items that you may need to take time to purchase or find: -balloon -empty water bottle -vinegar -50-100 pennies Also, I will be reading aloud picture books in this class.
