Jr. Science Searchers - Completing Kindergarten
June 28 - July 9 — From Outer Space to Ocean Depths Outer space is in our grasp as we explore our solar system. How far can you jump on the moon? Explore its seas, volcanoes and Apollo landings, and build your own miniature 'moon rover'. Harness the energy of the sun in your solar oven to roast toasty marshmallows. Next, plunge into the mysteries of the ocean. Meet and study its animals, large and small, friendly and dangerous. What makes a shark’s skin so rough? Learn how its body is similar to ours with a synthetic shark. Visit fictitious ‘Polluterville’ and see how you can help protect the coral reefs and ocean life; create a newsletter to report your findings. July 12 – 23 — From Dinosaurs to Tropical Rainforests Don your paleontologist hat for fun and adventure! What period would you visit and what types of dinosaurs would you find? Learn about carnivores, herbivores and omnivores. Investigate fossils; ponder the continental drift! Attempt to solve the ‘mystery of Sue.’ Then experience a kaleidoscope of sights, sounds and smells as you explore the layers of the tropical rainforest. What spices and food would you find? Listen closely to the sounds of the monkeys, bats and frogs. Discover the beauty of bromeliads and pitcher plants, and eat a rainforest feast!
