Sunday through Wednesday- end of the weekend and beginning of Camp Week!
Sunday Fr. Kris and Fr. Joe F celebrated the Mass at noon, where Dad was Eucharistic Minister. Don and Becky provided music ministry. We saw EJ after Mass and met Michael and his daughter, as well.
Monday was the first day of camp. We played Icebreaker games, brainstormed about notebook keeping, and presented famous scientists' notebooks. We set up a week-long crystal-growing (rock candy) experiment. After the lunch and our outside break, we brainstormed the steps of the scientific method, and then the teen library staff presented the science databases, and presented a scenario for ustilizing them. At the end of the day we documented each student's favorite page of work that day.
Tuesday- We made collages of brainstormed questions and topics for a science fair project, and then made DNA jewelry. Next was setting up coin experiments and then slimy GAK and Oobleck! After our indoor lunchbreak, Becky and Issam from the University of Pittsburgh did an interactive DNA experimental extraction with the campers. The end of the day was similar to Monday.
Wednesday (today)- We decorated the covers of our notebooks, continued to document the long-term experiments, Then we visited the local museum. After lunch and a visit to the local school playground, Dr. Brendan led us through a Gedanken process. The end of the day was similar to Monday and Tuesday. I got home about an hour earlier today than I did on previous days this week.
