Specially developed over 15+ years to inspire all children, ages 5-12yrs, with a lifelong love of science and learning, through enriching, educational experiments, indoor and outdoor social play and take-home activities that explore the science around us in our daily life. Every day at this safe, fun, educational, week-long 4-day May-June Half-Term Science Activity School Holiday Camp, is a science expedition into the unknown and over the week your child will do 30+ safe STEM activities, exciting demonstrations, hands-on experiments, team games and fun quizzes – across Chemistry, Biology and Physics! Every Day includes: 4* indoor classroom-based fun, hands-on science sessions 3* outdoor ‘Activity Playground Breaks’ – That’s why our camps are referred to as ‘Science Activity Camps’. Day 1> The Clever Scientist Challenge! The scientists are launched into group challenges such as making a water carrier, designing a beak which picks up food, creating the most intricate spider web and using pneumatics to invent a snapping dinosaur! Powerful Paper Cup! – Imagine being marooned on a desert island – one of the first things you need to find is drinking water – but how will you get it back to camp? The children design a water carrier using just a sheet of paper! Hungry, Hungry Birds! – Different birds have different beaks adapted to their food source. Can you design a bird beak to pick up grains of rice for your hungry chicks? Wonder Web! – A spider web is a marvel of engineering – in groups we design an intricate web to catch some ‘flies’. Dino Snapper! – Pnuematic power is explored and harnessed to create a snapping dinosaur. Day 2> Cool Creative Thinking! The creative thinkers compete with each other in engineering challenges to build the tallest tower, construct a strong bridge, winch up the heaviest weight and build some balance scales. Tin Foil Tower of London! – Can your team build the tallest tower? Height isn’t the only criteria; your tower must be strong and earthquake proof too! Winch It Up! – Can you lift your lunch box from the floor to the table – no hands allowed!! Bombastic Bridge Challenge! – Using just paper straws (and some knowledge of strong shapes) can your team build the strongest bridge? Weigh It Up! – We practice our balancing skills and then build some balance scales and test them with different materials. Day 3> Epic Engineering Fun! Today is a messy fun day! In groups we make a dam from a limited amount of materials to keep a village safe down river, then children take part in a fun bubble session and make their own bubble wands, we then discover the science behind a frog’s sticky tongue and end the day with more sticky fun with our ever-popular slime making activity! Brilliant Bubble Maker! – Who doesn’t love bubbles? We see small bubbles, touchabubbles and even square bubbles – but the group challenge is to make the largest bubble. Dastardly Dam Challenge! – Using a limited amount of materials can you design a dam to hold back the river? Cool Catching Flies! – Why do frogs have a sticky tongue? We design our own sticky frog tongues, play a super silly, sticky tongue game and on the way learn the fascinating history of velcro! Super Sticky Slime! – The sticky fun doesn’t end as we explore Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, and then make slime! Day 4> Super Designer! The designers work together to build the strongest boat then construct a flying machine and see who can fly the furthest. Then we get hands on with making a puzzling magic wallet and finally test our scientific investigation skills when we carry out experiments to find the best bottle tossing secrets! Unsinkable Strong Boat! – Can you float a boat? We use a minimum range of materials to construct the best floating boat. Fantastic Flying Fun! – We investigate the Four Fantastic Forces of Flight and then design our own flying machines to see which team can fly the furthest. Magic Wallet! – We learn the science of topology and bamboozle our brains with a magic money wallet trick. Best Bottle Toss Challenge! – We take the playground fad of the year and design an experiment to discover the best bottle tossing techniques. Extended Hours Available 8.30am-4pm (£10 extra per day)
