Nature Art Camp: Art, Science, and Engineering Fun!
Ages 9-12
During this three-day camp, we will investigate the many ways art can be created with natural materials and in the outdoors. I will inspire learners to create their own art with daily art activities, engineering challenges and science experiments. Topics included in the course will be: engineering a sculpture, making our own paint and brushes, and creating a dedicated nature journal. We will also explore the work of nature artists: Andy Goldsworthy and Clare Walker Leslie. Camp time will be a mix of teacher-led discussion, slideshow and video presentation, followed by group brainstorming and sharing. Each day the group will be presented with an idea or challenge for an art project that can be completed outside of our zoom session and shared the next day. Learn more here.Age: 8-11
During this class we will learn all about solar eclipses. We will answer questions such as: What makes a solar eclipse occur? Why don't we experience solar eclipses very often? How can you safely watch a solar eclipse? Students will share any prior knowledge they have through a brief group discussion. I will explain the science concepts through a quick lecture, illustrated with demonstrations, a slideshow and video clips of actual solar eclipses. We will discuss safe viewing of solar eclipses and how to find out when and where to watch the upcoming solar eclipse in April 2024. We will learn the science behind how a pinhole projector works. Finally, we will build our own cereal box pinhole projectors. I will give a brief tutorial and assist as the students build their projector.

What makes an insect special and different from other bugs and crawly things? Throughout this class students will learn the defining characteristics of insects through discussion, games, song, and hands-on modeling. Students will hone the important science skills of observation and classification while having fun. After we learn the parts of an insect, observe and compare different creatures and sing together, I will model how I might invent my own insect by building a model out of common household materials. Students will then be set loose to raid the craft and recycling bin for materials to invent their own insect with the specific characteristics we have learned about during class. Students will leave the class with the ability to list and identify the five unique characteristics of an insect's body. Learn more here.
