This year’s Science Camp is only three days; I had to sandwich Science Camp between VBS and a second, two week Faith Camp for kids behind in their sacraments. I decide I was only human and cut Camp to three days. Monday is Day 1. Here are the five day plans. I pulled a dozen activities for tomorrow, starting with Edible Chemistry: Soda Pop, When Algy Meets Calcium, Sherbet, and Red Cabbage Indicator. The kids need to follow the directions for three or four experiments; afterwards they may make potions. The sherbet is a topping or can be added to water to make a soft drink.
Next is Slime in all of its forms: Borax Slime, Liquid Starch Slime, Fluffy Slime, Floam, and Fluffy Slime (with hair conditioner). My plan is to make Sidewalk Chalk, UV Bead bracelets, and Film Canister Rockets. I have white glue, clear glue, glitter glue available for experimentation. The kids may add a little liquid starch, cornstarch, styrofoam beads to their slime as they experiment. I use tempera paint instead of food dyes for slime and chalk—much cheaper! I think I’m ready for Monday. I do have Cartesian divers, tornado tubes, and rocket balls ready if the kids run through their experiments quickly.
