Camp Activities this week!

This week you will choose which activities you would like to complete using the resources you have at home. Please do not feel the need to buy anything. We would like to see which activities you have chosen to complete, so make a picture collage and send us the collage through and email. Have fun with this individually or as a family, You Deserve It!

You Made It to the Last Week of 2019-2020 School Year! Enjoy, the adventure awaits!

Activities: Safety first. Use parent assistance!

1) Tie-Dye 1) You will need dye(spray or liquid), rubber bands or string, and an item to dye.

2) Watch the video to see how to fold your item if you want to fold it and tie it. https://youtu.be/OZyGsDEUy3M

3) Fold and tie your item

4) Tie-dye the item you selected

2) Scavenger Hunt 1) Write down in your science journal or print out the page attached.

Scavenger Hunt

3) Egg Drop Experiment 1) You will need: Materials to be used to protect egg(suggestions: paper towels, sponge, tape, cardboard box, plastic bowl…..), and a raw egg (you will need to go outside) 2) Build a structure to protect your egg from cracking, using the materials you collected. 3) Once the structure is build and your egg is place inside, drop you egg at knee height. Did your egg break? 4) Make adjustments if needed to your structure, then drop the structure and egg at waist height. Did your egg break? 5) Make adjustments if needed to your structure, then drop the structure and egg at shoulder height. Did it your egg break? 6) Make adjustments if needed to your structure, then drop the structure from higher level repeat. 7) Repeat. 8) Answer: What height did you get to? Did your egg ever break? Why or why not? (Have a parent assist you, as the height increases.)

4) Mento Experiment 1) You will need: A 2L bottle of Diet or Regular Coke or Pepsi and a pack of Mentos(in the stick form the best). 2) Go outside into the middle of the yard. 3) Put the pop up on something so it is at waist high. (Want it so you are not bending over to put Mentos in the bottle.) 4) Open the bottle of pop 5) Drop 10 mentos in all at once to the bottle of pop. (Put them in a tube or tape them together on one side.) 6) Move away quickly or you will get a surprise on you!

What Happened? Soda pop is made of sugar or artificial sweetener, flavoring, water, and preservatives. The thing that makes soda bubbly is invisible carbon dioxide (CO2), which is pumped into bottles at the bottling factory using lots of pressure. If you shake a bottle or can of soda, some of the gas comes out of the solution and the bubbles cling to the inside walls of the container (thanks to tiny pits and imperfections on the inside surface of the bottle called nucleation sites). When you open the container, the bubbles quickly rise to the top pushing the liquid out of the way. In other words, the liquid sprays everywhere. The reason why Mentos work so well is twofold—tiny pits on the surface of the mint, and the weight of the Mentos itself. Each Mentos mint has thousands of tiny pits all over the surface. These tiny pits act as nucleation sites—perfect places for CO2 bubbles to form. As soon as the Mentos hit the soda, bubbles form all over the surfaces of the candies and then quickly rise to the surface of the liquid. Couple this with the fact that the Mentos candies are heavy and sink to the bottom of the bottle and you’ve got a double whammy. The gas released by the Mentos literally pushes all of the liquid up and out of the bottle in an incredible soda blast.

5) Campout in the Living Room overnight or Camp outside with a parent in a tent or a camper (weather permitting).

6) Home Safari 1) Students click on this link http://cincinnatizoo.org/home-safari-resources/ 2) Choose an animal to research by scrolling through the list (I suggest Hippo!). 3) Watch the video and 4) Complete the "At Home" activity. A lot incorporate arts and crafts.

7) Making Slime Choose any of the following recipes to make slime These recipes are from the following website https://www.homesciencetools.com/article/how-to-make-slime/ A. Simple Slime recipe using Elmer's glue, water, Borax 1. In one bowl, add in 1 oz. glue (about ¼ of the glue bottle) and ¼ cup water (use a measuring cup). If you want colored slime, add food coloring to the glue and water mixture. Lift some of the solution out of the container with the stir stick and note what happens. 2. Add ¼ cup of Sodium Tetraborate (Borax) Solution to the glue and water mixture and stir slowly. 3. The slime will begin to form immediately. Lift some of the solution with the stir stick and observe how the consistency has changed from Step 1. 4. Stir as much as you can, then dig in and knead it with your hands until it gets less sticky (keep kneading as you like). This is a messy experience but is necessary because it allows the two compounds to bond completely. Don’t worry about any leftover water in the bowl; just pour it out. 5. When not in use, store the slime in an airtight plastic bag in the fridge to keep it from growing mold. What Happened? The glue has an ingredient called polyvinyl acetate, which is a liquid polymer. The borax links the polyvinyl acetate molecules to each other, creating one large, flexible polymer. This kind of slime will get stiffer and more like putty the more you play with it. Experiment with different glues to see if they create slime (e.g., carpenter glue, tacky glue, etc.).

B. Glooze Slime Recipe using skim milk and vinegar

7) Add 7 tablespoons of skim milk to a cup and add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to the milk. Gently stir the mixture until solids have formed. 8) Let the solids sink to the bottom of the mixture and then drain off the liquid using a filter (a coffee filter works best). Let the solids drain for a few minutes. 9) Add ¼ teaspoon of baking soda to the solids and knead together to form a slimy mixture from milk. What Happened? When you added the vinegar to the milk, it caused the milk’s protein, casein, which is also a polymer, to separate from the liquid part of the milk and clump together to form solids. Casein is used in adhesives, paints, and even plastics. The baking soda neutralizes the acid added, which allows the casein to go back to its liquid form.

C. Oobleck Slime Recipe using water and cornstarch 10) In the plastic mixing bowl, combine small amounts of water and cornstarch together to form a mixture that looks like heavy whipping cream and has the consistency of honey. The approximate ratio of the cornstarch to water mixture is 2 cups of cornstarch to 1 cup of water. So if you use all of a regular-sized box of cornstarch (about 16 oz.), you will use about 1½ cups of water. It is best to start with less water and slowly add it until the desired consistency is reached. 11) After making your mixture, gently lay your hand on the surface of the cornstarch- water mixture. You should notice that your hand sinks in the mixture like you would expect it to do. Move your hand through the mixture, slowly first and then trying to move it really fast. Was it easier to move your hand slowly or quickly through it? 12) If your mixture is deep enough to submerge your entire hand in it, try grabbing a handful of the mixture and pulling your hand out quickly. Then try again, this time relaxing your hand and pulling it out slowly. Did you notice a difference? 13) Try punching the cornstarch-water mixture. (Be careful not to hurt yourself on the bowl!) Make sure to hit the substance hard and pull your fist back quickly. Did the substance splatter everywhere or did it remain in the bowl? (If it splattered, add more cornstarch.) Whenever you gently and slowly move your hand through the cornstarch-water mixture, it behaves like a liquid. But when you try to move your hand through it quickly or forcefully hit the substance, it behaves like a solid. This cornstarch-water mixture behaves similarly to quicksand. What Happened? The flow and movement of a fluid is affected by its viscosity, or how sticky and thick it is. Quicksand and the cornstarch-water mixture are both non-Newtonian fluids. Non-Newtonian viscosity changes with the type of force applied to it. The viscosity of Newtonian fluids (such as water and honey, which follow Sir Isaac Newton’s law of viscosity) is dependent only on the temperature and pressure of the fluid, not the force applied to it. For instance, warm honey (less viscous) flows much more freely than cold honey (more viscous). Since the ability of a non-Newtonian fluid to move depends on the force or stress applied to it, these fluids do not act like ones we are more familiar with (e.g., honey or water). A light pressure, such as pouring or gently pressing the cornstarch-water mixture, allows it to move like a liquid. D. Unicorn Slime https://www.thebestideasforkids.com/unicorn-slime/ Ingredients 1 bottle of Elmer's glitter glue 6 oz - we used pink, yellow, and blue and repeated the recipe 3 times. Note: we made this with Elmer's glitter glue. Do not substitute with other glue as the make-up may not be the same and the recipe may not work Pink Gold, and Blue Glitter - use lots of glitter to get the same shiny effect. 1/2 teaspoon of Baking Soda ½ TBSP of Contact lens solution. **Important: your brand of contact lens solution must have boric acid in the ingredient list. This is what interacts with the glue to form the slime.

Optional: Add 2 TBSP of water to the glue if you'd like a stretchier slime. Instructions

1. Get a bowl to mix your slime ingredients in.

2. Pour your entire 6 oz Elmer's Glitter glue into the bowl.

3. Add your baking soda and mix in thoroughly.

4. Now add your glitter in and continue to mix. 5. Slowly add in your contact lens solution (reminder: your contact lens solution should contain boric acid or your slime will not form). Add it in slowly and mix if possible so that you can adjust and ensure you do not add too much. 6. Now mix until your slime forms and begins to harden. Take it out and knead, knead, knead. You may be surprised how much you need to knead to really make the slime form. If it's not the desirable consistency keep kneading. If you find it to still be too sticky, add a little bit of lotion or baby oil to your hands.
