Camp invention Week
One of our favorite weeks of the summer is Camp Invention Week. This is a science camp that takes place at our school where the kids come and invent, explore, and create new things. I am so lucky to be one of the teachers who teach the camp. It is a blast. This year my lessons were about being a pet vet and we were able to do some amazing things.
Landon is working with a partner right here learning hands on about blood samples. The little red water beads stood for the red blood cells, the white ping pong balls were the white blood cells, the red pieces of foam were platelets, and bubble wrap was the virus.
The coolest part of my station was that each student got there very own robot dog to create and personalize to then take home with them.
Carter was very proud of his robo dog
This was Nolan's first year being able to participate. He had a great time and even discovered that he liked salad! Can't tell you how many times we have offered him salad but never once tried it...at school he tried it, liked it, and asked for seconds!
Another day students had to pull beads out of paw print shaped slime which was to be like picking splinters out of dogs paw.
The last day the students had to use wood, nails, and hammers to build a dog park for their robo dogs.
This is by far the coolest science camp I have ever been a part of and the boys and I look forward to it each summer.
