We are hitting our stride and expanding our minds as part of wacky Wednesday Science Day as part of this week's 4-H Cloverbud Day Camp. Our campers came in this morning to their 4-H water bottles and a stack of wacky science coloring sheets. We took a breief moment after everyone arrived to get our cloud viewers and we went outside to see if we could spot any fluffy sky dwellers and spotted some stratus clouds out there.
After coming back in we settled into our day's schedule. We started off by getting the chance for some hands on fun with a variety of learning tools. We had a couple of mice that helped teach coding. A hand made lava lamp that allows you to learn about the density of liquids. We had a robotic arm that allowed the youth to work on hand eye coordination. We had a robot that wanted you to code it through a remoter control to get it through an obstacle course. We had a plasma ball that helped them learn about strings of energy. Let's not forget learning about circuits through the remote control snap circuit car. Now that is fun.
Right before lunch we made our own solar oven. Of course all scientific research requires that you test it. So we put s'more ingredients in our ovens and placed them outside. After lunch we went out and got our ovens and in case you can't tell we enjoyed the s'mores inside.
After lunch we worked on binary code necklaces. We translated our initials into colored beads and wore them They are really cool. We also applied what we learned about circuits to create a human circuit. Did you know your body can transmit energy. We used a special tube that made noise and lit up when the circuit was complete. It was so cool.
Ms. JoJo joined us this afternoon and we reviewed somethings for tomorrow. Then she got us up and moving with some really cool kids exercise videos. we raised the roof and swept out the smoke in some pretty awesome moves.
