Online Science Discovery Camps for Grades 1 – 2

Slime Investigators ONLINE for Grades 1 – 2

One week ONLINE camp

Have you ever have played with or made slime before? This summer you can become a slime engineer! In this online program, you will have fun with the science of slime making. Together we will learn about properties of matter, and explore how different ingredients can create different kinds of slime. You will practice science skills by observing, asking questions, and investigating. By the end you will be able to put your slime knowledge and skills to work to solve some challenges—can your slime make a bridge, protect a fragile package, or bounce like a ball?

What You Will Need at Home:

• Materials that will be delivered directly to your home
• Space to store some items in your refrigerator, a sink for handwashing, and towels for cleanup
• A large flat surface and a large tray, placemat, or tablecloth to work on

Please note: Limited adult help may be needed to help your children set up for activities before the start of the session.

Nature Explorers ONLINE for Grades 1 – 2
