Today was the first day of our real schedule at camp. The morning is taken up with labs, the afternoon with core classes, and we also have evening activities. And in between as much fun as possible to cram into a few hours. - Becca
In chemistry we did the magic raisins experiment which was really fun and exciting and we learned about density. While chemistry was fun, some chose to do Murder Mystery, and out eyes were a main point. There was a false crime scene set up, and we had to draw and write detailed descriptions about what we saw. In Motion Coasters, we learned about Newton's Law of Inertia by sliding a flashcard out from under a penny to drop it into a cup, switching the bottom in a stack of washers out without lifting them up, and a fun game to try to get pennies in a cup.After, we learned about centrifugal force by flipping a glass of water upside down in a circle. In the core class Math in Art we learned how everything in art involves math, even though we don't notice it. In the class we chose three different color yarn and built a tri-stitch triangle by sewing. It was really fun.
As for the evening activities, we did three things. The first thing is we took a group photo after dinner. After we finally managed to take the photo we went back to Baker Hall to prepare for our guest speakers. there was a wide variety of mathematicians and scientists. They inspired us to follow our future dreams. We also played our cutsom version of paper, rock, scissors called Elves, Giants, and Wizards. We had a fabulous day.

Sounds like the girls are having a really fun time! Hope they are doing some socializing and not just straight academics! They still need to have some pragmatic skills as well. Looks like the girls need to watch the counselors during the canoe ride.
