Monday, March 16, 2015: **Jr. Engineers** - Structures are all around you, everywhere you look and everywhere you go!

Build a Soma cube puzzle that may even stump your parents!

Tuesday, March 17, 2015: **Machine Mania** - Investigate the world of simple machines as you learn that machines are helpful for work or play! Assemble and control pulleys, levers, catapults and mega-pinchers! Use the machines you create to feed yourself and shoot ping-pong balls! Operating your simple machines will make work seem like play.

Wednesday, March 18, 2015: **Crazy Chemistry** - Chemistry is part of your everyday life, but what is Chemistry? Explore this great topic and use chemistry to make your own sidewalk chalk. Create a crystal garden out of common household items and use chromatography to make a camp T-shirt.

Thursday, March 19, 2015: **Birds & The Beasts** - Study Biology as you become an ornithologist and discover the unique characteristics of birds. Investigate feathers to see how birds fly. Dissect owl pellets to find out what they eat. Make your own seed mixture to attract your favorite species of birds to your own yard.

Friday, March 20, 2015  **Shutterbugs!** - Explore the use of light to utilize more than one form of photography. Make a cool kaleidoscope with mirrors. Use a camera obscura to help you understand how a camera works. Get artistic with a diazzo chamber and create a print to take home.
