5 Day Camp 10am – 2pm
Cost €150 with discounts for multiple bookings
** Early Bird available until 05/06/2017 **
The activities this year are all around the themes of states of matter, viscosity, solar energy, light and sound, forensics and rocket science. We do age appropriate experiments on those themes with one topic usually being taken each day. For the 4 day camp we will leave out some activities – this will be at the discretion of the leaders at each venue.
The children are going to learn about the changing states of matter, immiscible liquids and emulsions. They are going to investigate solar energy for cooking and heating and other experiments and activities.
For our biology theme we will learn about the eye and sight through various fun activities. The children will also learn about the lungs and the respiratory system as well as the heart and the circulatory system.
The children will become forensic scientists for a day and investigate a whodunnit crime using fun CSI experimental materials including as usual.. vinegar and bread soda. We will learn about acids and bases while the older children will also extract DNA from fruit.
The week will end with a blast with fun rocket science .

10-10.15 introduction and review of previous day’s experiments
