Based on the book Five Green and Speckled Frogs by Priscilla Burris.
Frogs are interesting animals! Come hop, jump, and ribbit as we discover these amazing creatures.
Participants see how iron fillings suspended in a liquid form an interesting creation called ferrofluid, which, when placed near a strong magnet, create interesting designs/forms.
Get hands-on with physics and life science: learn to identify lift, thrust, drag, gravity, and plants and animals that take to the sky. Combine with "Space" camp (June 17-21, 9am-Noon) for a full-day camp.
Students test the effects of drugs like caffeine and sleeping pills on the heart rate of a live water flea. Concepts: human anatomy & physiology, dose-response curves, drug toxicity.
Students explore how genes impact drug response by observing live wildtype and mutant drosophila exposed to alcohol. Concepts: molecular biology, pharmacogenomics, personal health.
This workshop explores different animals and the sounds they make. Enjoy plenty of
“eee-i, eee–i, ohs” as you paint a barn, meet a chicken, and dress up as your favorite animal! Based on the book Big Red Barn by Margaret Wise Brown.
