While there are no graded or required assignments for this course, learners will probably want to practice making secret messages, codes and fingerprinting outside of class time.Experiencia de clase

Grado de EE. UU. 2 - 5
Nivel Beginner
In this three-week camp learners will discover 2 different kid-safe techniques for making and revealing invisible secret messages, as well as the science behind them. They will learn methods for creating codes and ciphers. Learners will find out all about fingerprints and learn an easy way to take a fingerprint (without ink!) to create their own fingerprint database. Class time will be a mix of direct instruction, class discussion and opportunities for hands-on learning. Although we will be sure to tackle the science concepts behind their "spy training" instructional time will be fun, joyful and pressure free. The goal for this camp is to inspire kids to learn something new that they can continue doing for fun after our class time is over.
Metas de aprendizaje
Through their secret code projects students will learn the science behind a wax resist drawing: the properties of liquids and wax that make them behave the way they do. They will learn the basics of pH and how to use pigments as a pH indicator. They will also learn how to develop a code and cipher.

Invisible Ink: Two Methods
In this lesson we will learn how to make 2 different types of invisible secret messages and the science behind how they work. We will investigate how different pigments in fruit juice can be used as pH indicators. Using this knowledge we will make secret messages that can be revealed using a juice mixture. Then, using crayons and paint we will learn how to make a secret message using the concepts of wax resist and the properties of liquids.

Lección 2:
Codes and Ciphers
In this lesson we will discover and practice several different ciphers for coding secret messages. Learners will also be inspired to create their own codes and ciphers.

Lección 3:
Build Your Own Fingerprint Database
In this lesson we will learn about the different types of patterns found in fingerprints. Then we will discover a simple method for fingerprinting yourself or others using just a pencil and some scotch tape. Learners can then use their knowledge to build their own fingerprint database of their family and friend's fingerprints.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
I have been teaching these fun spy and CSI science activities for 20 years. Through my tenure as a science museum instructor and time as Preschool-6th grade science teacher I've enjoyed seeing countless students gleefully take their own fingerprints and decode their friend's secret messages. I'm looking forward to sharing these with your learners!
