It may have been a short week, but we
were not short on fun at this week's Science Extravaganza camp! Monday
was all about dinosaurs, and we made our very own stegosaurus back plates and
spent the day looking awesome! We also
took a tour of the dinosaur exhibits on the second floor, learning about how
different dinosaurs adapted to promote their survival.

On Tuesday, we learned about
zoology. We got to know the museum
better by doing a scavenger hunt of the third floor, which focuses on Michigan
wildlife and ecology. To learn about
camouflage, we played a game where we were the “birds” and had to find as many
“worms” as we could on different color backgrounds. We also built model habitats!
Wednesday was a super exciting day: we
took a field trip to the arb! While we
were there, we got to act out water molecules in each of the different states,
and learn about how much water is on our planet. We also got to play some games and hang out
by the river! It was a great day.
On Friday, we were excited to be back
after having Thursday off for the holiday, and finished the week strong with
astronomy day! We got to see a
planetarium show, learn about stars and constellations, and make our very own
star finders! We also decorated and assembled our own cloud climbers!
We learned a lot about science this
week, and can’t wait to come back next week for more Science Extravaganza!
