About This Activity
In my beautiful, my beautiful flying frog machine! We will investigate the properties of UP - as in Look up and see what you can see. Is that a dragon in the sky or a cumulonimbus cloud? Star light star bright first star I see tonight wish I may wish I might grant my wish tonight - Is that first light in the night a star or the planet Venus? What is a shooting star? How does a rocket launch? Learn about Bernoulli's principle and how it helps create lift on a wing allowing a bird to soar and a plane to fly. Bats are the only mammals that can truly fly (Birds and Bugs too), while some other creatures like flying squirrels, flying fish or Bornean gliding frogs glide through the air. We will make our own version of flying squirrels - using paper airplanes we will experiment to see what zooms and what kabooms. Also, when one thinks of UP one might be envisioning climbing up a mountain or walking up the stairs at home or maybe even taking the elevator to the top of the Empire State Building. We will explore many local Tops of hills, towers and roofs to get a 360 degree point of view of our local surroundings as we explore the many different facets of UP. This week is Field Trip Week! Your camper(s) will have the exciting opportunity to travel on a chartered bus to a special destination for exploration. Please note, a small additional fee is applied to registration for this unique experience. It's sure to be a highlight of the camp session! Tree Frog Treks Camps are about exploring nature, meeting animals (live rescued reptiles and amphibians) doing science and art and most of all having fun with our new friends outside. Our credo is: Get Out and Get Dirty! And our motto is: Build a Fort, Climb a Tree, Hold a Bug, and Smell the Sea! As always you can count on us to continue supporting your kids and family with the TFT basics: * Outside everyday * Positive social dynamics * Productive play * Science and nature exploration * Get Out and Get Dirty!
