8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Learn how to operate a rubber band cannon, then discover how the distance and path of a projectile varies with potential energy, projectile weight, and angle of launch. Campers will apply what they learn by playing rubber band cannon battleship and rubber band cannon golf! Other activities include: paper airplanes, physics of music, slime and polymers, gross-ology, magnets, crystal formation, engines, gravity, and more.
*Since the pottery won’t be done in time for campers to take home at the end of camp, parents and campers are invited to attend a Student Art Show on Thursday, August 10 from 5 to 6 p.m.
