Science Explorers: Mini-Camp

This is a two day Science Camp that is based off of my  Science Explorers semester classes. This mini-camp will be dedicated to science experiments.   I will provide your  child with hands-on experiences as they explore and foster their love of science. I will guide learners and encourage peer collaboration, as they participate in interactive, engaging and exploratory  science activities. We will have FUN while DOING activities that focus on logic, biological and physical science, while sparking your child's natural curiosity and a desire to learn. This class will introduce kids to aspects of the scientific method that allow kids the opportunity to make and test predictions. Some of the learning paths that we will use to Observe, Predict and Check will include: cause and effect sequences to everyday objects, structure and function and how nonliving physical things change. Some of the experiments will include chemical reactions and eruptions, liquid density and dissolving solids and color mixing and physical reactions. Students will also have the opportunity to record data and keep track of results. I look forward to meeting your learner as we enjoy simple science projects and experiments designed for kids to learn about science in a fun, interactive way.

We will explore chemical reactions with: 
Corn
Lemon Volcanos


We will also look at surface friction/tension with:
Magic Milk
Toilet Paper and Paper Clips
Pepper

We will learn about density/buoyancy with:
Oranges/Eggs

I will send out the supply list the weekend before class, so that you are able to gather the supplies needed. Most of the supplies needed are things that you will probably have around the house.
