Halloween Science! – New Activities for 2024
This Halloween themed 5-day camp is science expedition into the spooky unknown and over the week your child will do 40+ safe, fun, STEM craft-focused activities, exciting demonstrations, hands-on, take-home experiments, team games and fun quizzes – across Chemistry, Biology and Physics!
Every Day – includes:
Four Indoor classroom-based fun, hands-on, science sessions.
Three Outdoor ‘Activity Playground Breaks’ – Hence why our camps are referred to as ‘Science Activity Camps’.
Please note: the programme content and order may be subject to minor change.
Day 1> Atomic Monsters!
After a ‘getting to know you’ and orientation session we start the week by washing our hands and investigating gruesome germs! We make a slimy “blood” sample and see the content of our blood. Then the children experiment with shocking static electricity and make their own petrifying haunted ghost house!
Getting To Know You! – Fun ‘Getting to Know You’ games to start the week and an introduction to the Scientific Method to set up our little scientists for a fantastic week of spooky science!
Viral Viruses! – We start by washing our hands! We learn why hand hygiene is so important and investigate some gruesome germs.
Blood Making! – We explore the make-up of blood and then make our own gory blood sample.
Haunted House! – The children experiment with shocking static electricity and make their own petrifying haunted house.
Day 2> Gory Genius!
Our scientific geniuses become ghoulish chemists for the day as they create an acid/base volcanic eruption, explore stretchy, gooey polymer slime, and then investigate why oil and water don’t mix.
Eerie Eruptions! – We learn about chemical reactions before making eerie erupting pumpkins.
Spooky Slime! – Then we investigate the power of polymers and make some glow-in-the-dark florescent slime.
Witch’s Cauldron! – Finally, we try to mix two liquids that don’t want to mix and create a bubbling witch’s cauldron!
The Fun Zone! – We re-cap the activities with quizzes and challenges designed to reinforce the day’s learning, support the younger children, and stretch the more able learners.
Day 3> Trick or Treat!
We trick our eyes with ghostly optical illusions, discover the life cycle behind a popular Halloween decoration – the pumpkin lantern! and examine what makes up our skeleton and make a friendly model skeleton – Skelly!
Witchcraft Illusions! – Our science wizards practice their magical skills and create a baffling thaumatrope optical illusion.
Pumpkin Life Cycle! – We discover the life cycle behind spooky pumpkin lanterns and make a pumpkin life cycle model.
Skelly, the 3D Skeleton! – We end this day with a spine-chilling look at the skeletal system and put Skelly the Skeleton together.
The Fun Zone! – We re-cap the activities with quizzes and challenges designed to reinforce the day’s learning, support the younger children, and stretch the more able learners.
Day 4> Witchcraft Science!
Today we shoot rockets and examine how jet propulsion could speed up a witch’s broom and zoom bats across the classroom! Then we create a glow-in-the-dark spider web and uncover some creepy spider facts.
Flying Bats! – We investigate jet propulsion and launch some rocket bats.
Spooky Spider Webs! – Arachnophobes beware! We take a close look at the world of spiders and make a glow-in-the-dark spider web.
Broom Zoom! – Then we take the jet propulsion theme further and investigate sending witches into space with a rocket witches’ broom!
The Fun Zone! – We re-cap the activities with quizzes and challenges designed to reinforce the day’s learning, support the younger children, and stretch the more able learners.
Day 5> Freaky Fun!
The body is the focus when we ‘dissect’ a plasticine brain and get to grips with a skeleton hand. Then we re-animate some jelly worms as they do a wiggly dance.
Brain Building! – We get the children to use their heads and make a grisly brain model!
Manic Bone Hand! – A gruesome grabber helps up discover the bone structure in our hands.
Dancing Franken-Worms! – We then bring to life some Franken-worms and make them dance in a bubbling liquid.
The Fun Zone! – We re-cap the activities with quizzes and challenges designed to reinforce the day’s learning, support the younger children, and stretch the more able learners.
Parents, don’t worry you get something too – you will also receive a ‘TOP SECRET Parent Handout’ that tells you:
- What they DID?
