Day 1: Leaf Chromatography: This demonstration will demonstrate that multiple color pigments exist in leaves. They will learn that in 
the fall, the amount of chlorophyll decreases allowing the other color pigments to show. They will also briefly discuss the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis. 
Day 2: S'More Solar Ovens: Students will learn more about radiation and the heat transferred from sunlight. They will make their own oven solar out of an old pizza or shoe box. This class does require the oven to be made in advance. Directions for construction of the box will be provided. Then students will then use their oven to conduct a short experiment on whether they can cook their S'more in under 10 minutes. If it is not possible for your student to be outside for this project, or if weather or time of day is an issue, indoor alternatives are possible. 
Day 3: Live Trap Building: Students will learn about the engineering design process by using random kitchen items to design a trap prototype. They will attempt to "catch" a small toy car as their prey. 
Day 4: Microorganisms in the Water: Students will learn how and why they need to filter water, even tough it looks clear. 
Day 5: Who Left That Print?: Students will view different animal prints and learn how to identify animals based on their tracks.
