Spring into Science Day-Camp
March 13 – March 16
9:00 am-3:00 pm
**Spring into Science is now FULL**
Join us this spring break for a four day jam-packed adventure through the world of science. Each day we will focus on a different theme that will teach children about recycling, gravity, centrifugal force, chemistry and so much more!
Parents or guardians of children in first through fifth grades can register for “Spring into Science” camp on our website beginning Tuesday, January 17. Camp tuition is $175 per child and will cover supplies for over 30 activities and experiments, a healthy morning snack, your child’s very own lab coat, an hour of play in the museum each day, and personal instruction from museum staff and volunteers!! **We will offer a multiple child discount of $15 off for each additional child that attends the camp.
Before and after care will be available at an additional charge of $5/each morning and $10/each afternoon. A morning snack is included in the camp tuition and a pre-paid lunch option through the museum café will also be available. Children also have the option of bringing their own lunch each day.
Tuesday: Amazing Agriculture
Come learn about Mississippi’s most important industry and how it affects your life every day. Plant your own “Glove Garden,” make recycled paper, and much more.
Wednesday: Happy! Healthy! Human!
Do experiments and activities dealing with the human body. Find out about the systems in your body with messy, silly activities.
Thursday: Force and Energy
How many potatoes does it take to change a light bulb? I don’t know, but we will see how many it takes to light one up! We will also be doing fun experiments to learn about magnetism, gravity, and centrifugal force.
Friday: Kitchen Chemistry
Be a mad scientist! Learn about chemical reactions and make a few of your own using household ingredients. Make slime, elephant toothpaste, rock candy, and more while learning the scientific principles behind your creations!
