Science October Half Term Camp at Gresham Primary School CR2

Activity Description

Day 1 – It’s Halloween Scream

We start the week with a virus awareness challenge, what are they, what do they do and most importantly how can we beat them?! We plunge into the deep, dark ocean and learn how pressure affects density. Then we create a spooky shadow show and see how light travels in a straight line and try to complete the bouncing light challenge.

Day 2 – Fang-Tastic Fun
We become ghoulish chemists for the day as they create an acid/base volcanic eruption, explore stretchy slime, and then investigate why oil and water don’t mix.

Day 3 – Spooky Science
We trick our eyes with ghostly optical illusions, investigate the contents of our blood and examine what makes up our skeleton and make a friendly model skeleton – Skelly!

Day 4 – Witchcraft Science
We shoot rockets and examine how jet propulsion could speed up a witch’s broom and zoom bats across the classroom! Then we create a glow-in-the-dark spider web!

Day 5 – Freaky Fun
We dissect a plasticine brain and re-animate jelly worms!
