About This Activity
Explore the elements wind, water, fire and earth to learn their unique properties and how each play an important role in our environment. • Give back to Earth by planting. Campers will learn the process of photosynthesis by planting their own flower and watching it grow. • Don’t be a litter bug. Campers will use an EnviroScape 3D model to demonstrate the impacts of human pollution on our coastal watershed, as well as make their own water filtration system out of recycled soda bottles. • It’s gonna blow! Campers will delve into underwater volcanoes then make their own to watch it erupt. • Let’s check the Richter scale. Campers will work together to build a shake table and even stand on an earthquake simulator. • Time for arts and crafts. Campers will choose their favorite element to create their own craft, such as kites and pet rocks, as well as food like coke floats and gummy worm cupcakes. • We’ve got a weather emergency. Campers will take a closer look at historical hurricanes, simulate a tornado and learn about acidification by experimenting with oyster shells. • Are we there yet? Campers will take a field trip to LCRA’s irrigation site to witness the power of water firsthand and learn ways to conserve it.
