In this 5 day camp, the kids will learn about different chemical reactions. Each meeting we will complete a safe chemistry experiment that shows different chemistry concepts. At the beginning of class, we will discuss the experiment , and after we do the activities, we will discuss the chemistry behind the experiments. The kids and I will do the activities together step by step. They will be able to interact with me and each other during our class time by asking questions, etc. There is a name badge PDF in the classroom that can be printed for your child to wear during our class. The supply list is available as a pdf in the classroom The kids use a lot of baking soda and vinegar during class because they get to do their own experiments after the group experiment. 😊 ****If no learners join after 10 minutes, then the class meeting for that day will be cancelled.****
