Science Week Experiments and Learning

Tuesday’s Sunshine Report

Today was a great kick off for science week! So many of us already know a lot about all different kinds of science, and we are excited to teach others and learn more! 

The red group made gel aquariums to learn all about he ocean and fish. They made gloopy slime where they saw how different things can react together! In the field the played predator vs prey, learning about the food chains and what different animals eat. Then they cooled down using animal water squirters!

Orange group started their day playing drip drip drop and talked about the science of water! We then worked in groups to make contraptions for an egg drop! Working with our counselors and other campers, everyone was able to make a successful egg drop that didn’t crack! 

The Yellow and Green group worked on their science experiments for the science fair they will be holding tomorrow. The played predator vs prey, and talked about the food chain. Finally they played a super fun game of sponge fling, learning about inertia and energy! 

Reminder to hand in permission slips for the field trip on Thursday to Hopkinton State Park, and make sure the waiver on page 2 is also signed!

Pool Fun in the Sunshine

Friday’s Sunshine Report

Everyone was so excited for our first full pool day this summer!

We all had so much fun splashing around, some of us had fun playing catch with beach balls. Other members of the Yellow and Green Groups did a great job passing the swim test, showing some Olympic swimming skills – it was a great way to cool off after a long, hot week!

Week 3 will be devoted to Nature, Water and Science and the field trip on Thursday will be to Hopkinton State Park.

A Day of Learning and Nature at Bass Pro Shops

Today, everyone at the Sunshine Group took our first field trip to Bass Pro Shops.

We had so much fun doing the Nature Walk around the cranberry bogs. Some of us saw turtles, birds and even frogs in the pond!

We also explored inside and saw huge fish, bears and even more turtles! It was truly a great day and an awesome first field trip!

A reminder that tomorrow is a swim day,  the weather forecast looks fantastic!  Make sure to bring all the necessary items for water fun.
