Hands-On Science Summer Camps
I had a lot of parents express interest in camp when I asked if it was something they'd be interested in for the summer of 2019, but I had very few signups when I posted the dates.   If you think you might be interested in a Summer 2020 camp, please let me know!   I'm open to suggestions on good weeks to offer camps in the future.

Happy Summer,
Lisa

 


CSI Camp
For children entering 5th-9th grade 

CSI Camp aims to develop your child's interest in forensic science.  By using investigative techniques and scientific methods, your child will learn how forensic scientists solve the mysteries behind crime scenes.  The focus will be on evidence collection and analysis from a mock crime scene (don't worry, it is a fairly kid-friendly dognapping).  Your child will learn some fundamentals of crime scene investigation through the following activities:   
  • determining blood type of suspects
  • determine the angle of impact of a blood spatter from a gunshot wound (no one died at this crime scene!)
  • lift fingerprints from a window
  • analyze hair and fibers using microscopes
  • determine who left bitemarks (forensic odontology) at the crime scene 
  • perform paper chromatography on the "ransom" note
  • create Plaster of Paris casts of shoeprints found in the dirt at the crime scene
  • analysis handwriting on the "ransom" note
  • analyze soil found on suspects' shoes

Fee: $150 per session

​Roller Coaster STEM Challenge Camp  - ​ ALL SESSIONS OF THIS CAMP HAVE BEEN CANCELLED
For children entering 5th-9th grade
                           ​
While building a paper roller coaster for marbles, your child will explore the physics (potential and kinetic energy, friction, forces in a loop, and gravity) and engineering design process behind roller coaster design.  Teams of two to three children will compete against each other to build the most cost-effective, creative, and exciting roller coaster.  This camp is best for children who have good fine motor skills (lots of paper cutting and taping), patience, and focus.


Fee: $150 per session
Roller Coaster Session 1:  June 17-21 (M-F), 12:30-3:30 p.m. CANCELLED
