WEIRD SCIENCE!
Every day on this four-day science activity camp is a great mix of exciting demonstrations, hands-on experiments, team games and fun quizzes. Over the week your child will take part in 30+ science activities and demonstrations including:
Day 1> Deep Science!
The Deep – Travel down through the ocean zones and discover the mysteries of The Deep in an ocean zone bottle.
Jaws! – ‘Meet’ an ocean apex predator and make their food chain.
Beyond the Sea – Oil spills happen too frequently in our oceans, we learn how difficult they are to clean up.
The Fun Zone – We re-cap the activities with quizzes and challenges designed to reinforce the day’s learning.
Day 2> Blow Me Away!

Flying without Wings – it’s not just things with wings that fly! We make a spinning flyer from some unusual things.
The Fun Zone – We re-cap the activities with quizzes and challenges designed to reinforce the day’s learning.
Day 3> Rainbow Research!
Mix It Up – We learn about primary, secondary and tertiary colours, and mix our own colour wheel.
Rainbow Connection – We split visible light into the rainbow spectrum by making a spectroscope.
Hall of Mirrors – Light travels in straight lines, but what if you reflect it? We reflect on what happens and make a mirror sculpture.
The Fun Zone – We re-cap the activities with quizzes and challenges designed to reinforce the day’s learning.
Day 4> Weather Madness!
Mr Blue Sky – There are many different types of clouds, we make a cloud viewer and learn what the different types of cloud mean for the weather around us.

Our camps are designed as a full week camp for maximum benefit to your child and it works out much more cost-effective to you. However we understand that you may not be able to attend some days, so have limited day places available which can only be booked over the telephone.
