About This Activity
Little Scientist is a hands-on S.T.E.A.M. camp designed for children ages 4 to 6 that introduces foundational concepts across diverse branches of science, including entomology, meteorology, oceanography, and rocketry. Nature & Ecology: Campers explore the natural world by building functioning hummingbird feeders, constructing food chain models, germinating radish seeds in test tubes, and studying bird feathers and animal adaptations. Physics & Engineering: Participants dive into forces and motion by building and launching their own water bottle rockets over a three-day project, constructing marshmallow-launching catapults, and testing power-launch gliders. Earth & Material Science: Young scientists investigate phases of matter and habitats by creating their own green slime, rolling beeswax candles, and constructing edible ocean models with Jell-O and candy. Meteorology & Observation: The camp emphasizes daily scientific observation, featuring activities like building a personalized weather wheel to track forecasts and creating glowing firefly models to learn about insect anatomy.
