In this exciting 5-day camp, learners will use chemical reactions, concepts of life science, and the scientific method to predict how matter interacts with other matter. Is it Magic or Science? #academic Here is a brief schedule of each experiment. Day 1: Self Inflating Balloon - Magic of Gas Pressure Day 2: Colorful Crystals Growing from Water - Magic of Supersaturation Day 3: Will it Float? - Magic of Density, Buoyancy, and Viscosity Day 4: Soap Makes Germs Disappear - Magical Properties of Soap that Keep Us Safe. Day 5: Make a Potion - Magic Potion Changes the Color of Liquids. Learners have the option to use the material list if they wish to complete the experiments with me. Learners will be able to interact and collaborate ideas with classmates during the class. Each will be encouraged to fully participate in each day's experiment.
Learning Goals
Students learn the methods of prediction, testing, recording results, and improvement. Students will be able to use hands-on activity using everyday items to create a fun and exciting experiments.

I am a middle school and high school math and science teacher with nine years of experience. Additionally, I am a homeschooling dad of 12+years who has four kids that are four different types of learners.
I have the privilege to teach many subject areas, but chemistry is my favorite as it applies to all other areas of science. My opinion is that if a student understands major chemical concepts, other sciences become more clear.
I hold a MS and BS in the natural sciences.Reviews
