About
Join us for Science Experiment Sundays where we ask questions, test hypotheses, and carry out experiments! Each week is different but some examples of experiments we've done are " Do people brake for snakes in the road?", "How can we tell if our ponds are healthy?", "Which food source do birds prefer at feeders?"
We will take the kids through the entire scientific process, teach them about experiment variables, controls, a hypothesis, and how to present the information (graphs/ charts, etc.)
This is a 2 hour drop off program where we may transport the kids in golfcarts/ camp van to different locations around the island depending on that day's experiment. Parents are welcome to join but must pay for a spot as this program has limited space.
