Activity Week Programme
*Note: this is the same great, new programme as the April Easter Camp 2022
Science Blast!
Every day at this 3-day camp is a science expedition into the unknown and over the week your child will do 30+ science activities, exciting demonstrations, hands-on experiments, team games and fun quizzes.
Every Day includes: 4 indoor classroom-based fun, hands-on, science sessions and 3 outdoor ‘Activity Playground Breaks’
Disclaimer: Please note the order of the Activity Week Programme is subject to change. Should you wish to confirm the order of the Activity Week Programme at your camp venue; this will not be available until 2 weeks before the start of the camps.
Day 1> Rocket Launch!
We start the day with a quick reminder about hand hygiene! We learn some intriguing facts behind the Boomerang and become Mini Rocket Scientists! What is propulsion? We’ll see in this day packed with creating your own aerodynamic arrow and hoop glider, then we’ll investigate how to (safely!) get back down to Earth!
It Won’t Come Back! – What is the difference between a stick and a boomerang – Why does only one come back when you throw it? We look at how shape affects how things fly and make our own returning frisbee.
Rocket 3,2,1! – We make aerodynamic rockets and consider the forces need to launch a rocket into space.
Hoop Gliders! – We all recognise a traditional aeroplane shape – here we look at some unusual flying designs.
Eggonauts! – We discuss states of matter and guess properties of different materials, then we test those predictions and try to save Eddy the Egg from a sticky end!
Day 2> Flight Forces!
Having constructed a helicopter blade, we discover the science behind Da Vinci’s Catapult and launch projectiles across the classroom! Then we calm down the energy and watch a mind-blowing science show!
Choppers! – It’s not just aeroplanes that can fly – we investigate making our own helicopter rotors.
Static Flyer! – Gazing deep into a plasma ball we discover some properties of electricity, then harness static electricity to magically move our static flyer.
Catapult Comp! – We see some energy transfer in action as we shoot mini-missiles through the air.
The Epic Energy Journey Show! – There are so many different types of energy – but the First Law of Thermodynamics tell us that energy can be neither created nor destroyed – so instead we see some amazing energy transformations.
Day 3> Outer Space!
After watching a mind-blowing science show, discover the science behind the moon phases and make your own astronomy device to find it! Make your own gooey alien slime and compete in a ‘Design your own Mars Rover’ competition!
Moon Plate! – We all know the moon – but this session will help us gain a better understanding of the moon and how it rotates around the Earth.
Alien Slime! – We create a gooey, sticky Alien slime and learn all about non-Newtonian fluids.
Design a Mars Rover! – After the moon we head to Mars! We take a closer look at the planet Mars and consider the environment and terrain before building our own Mars Rover.
The Fun Zone! – We re-cap the activities with quizzes and challenges designed to reinforce the day’s learning.
Remember – Parents will also receive a TOP SECRET Handout that tells you:
- What They DID?
- What They LEARNT?
- Other cool science you can EXPLORE AT HOME?
