AM: Kitchen Concoctions
Bubbles was the concoction of the day! Starting with the bubble wand, campers used pipe cleaners to make their own wand. Next, they mixed together the ingredients to make the bubble solution. Finally, they used the wands and bubble solution they made to blow bubbles!
PM: Taking Flight
7-8s used recycled materials to create high-flying aircrafts. From Styrofoam plates, they traced and cut pieces to build their own gliders. After working so diligently to create the aerodynamic planes, they tested out their designs.
Brian, you had such a science filled week.
