Shippensburg University Chemistry Camp II 

The SU Chemistry Camp will give students ages 8 – 10 years the opportunity to perform a variety of chemistry experiments designed to teach basic chemical principles and to connect chemistry to the students’ everyday experiences. The majority of our time will be spent in actual labs so students can experience what it is like to be a chemist.
Boys & Girls Ages 8 - 10 years

You must have completed Chemistry Camp I to enroll for Chemistry Camp II

 

Camp Chemistry will simultaneously emphasize the fundamental concepts of chemistry (atoms, molecules, chemical reactions, thermodynamics, the Periodic Table, mixtures, etc.) and how those concepts are used to explain pehnomena that students' experience on a regular basis. Possible topics include nutritional chemistry, kitchen chemistry, and environmental chemistry (soil and water).

A typical day at Chem Camp will include 4 hands-on science experiments including fun things like blowing up gummy bears, separating the colors in an M&M, isolating DNA from a cow liver, and making water glow in the dark. We will have a visiting field biologist talk with us about his research (and even bring along some animal friends!). One of our local physicists will demonstrate the laws of physics with fun demonstrations. There is never a boring moment at Chem Camp.
