Learning Standards:
Scientific Inquiry and Reasoning
PK.S.1.1: Campers will be encouraged to ask questions about kitchen ingredients and predict what will happen during CO2 sensory experiments, fostering curiosity.
PK.S.1.3: Campers will test predictions through active exploration with hands-on experimentation with everyday kitchen ingredients, understanding the science behind CO2 bubbles.
Engineering Design Process
PK.S.6.1: Campers will identify simple problems, such as detecting harmful gas in the kitchen, and brainstorm solutions through the design process.
PK.S.6.2: Campers will explore multiple solutions to design challenges by actively experimenting with different approaches while building a gas-detecting robot.
Physical Development and Health
PK.PDH.1: Campers will use their senses to guide learning by touching, smelling, and tasting ingredients during food sensory games and treat-making.
Social-Emotional Development
PK.SED.4.2: Campers will work together to solve problems and will be encouraged to collaborate while building the gas-detecting robot.
PK.SED.3.2: Campers will demonstrate self-regulation by managing their feelings appropriately during experiments, practicing patience, and enjoying a bubbly celebration feast.
Approaches to Learning
PK.AL.4: Campers will exhibit curiosity and willingness to learn new things through magical CO2-infused treat-making activities like Fizzy Lemonade and risen bread, cultivating a sense of wonder.
Magic Kingdom: Robotic Magicians
Prepare to step inside a magic-filled kingdom filled with the extraordinary and unexplainable, where glowing statues, floating magical hats, and enchanted machines surround you at every turn. Join us in exploring the magic behind these spectacles, where you’ll invent your own magical performances and wow your friends and families with seemingly impossible tricks. Using the power of science, engineering, and technology, you’ll become a robotic magician, designing machines that light up, move, disappear, and surprise your audience. While others might think you're just waving your wand, you’ll be the mastermind commanding your own maker magic. Our mystical Inventors will break down STEM principles from each magic trick to design and build their own magical inventions. With each Inventor adding their own twist, the NORY Magic Show will explode with astonishment, laugher, and giggles when your camper’s unique flare amazes the audience.
Campers Will:
- Investigate magic tricks by breaking them down to discover the science and engineering principles behind each illusion.
- Invent magical machines using motors, lights, and mechanisms that create surprising effects for a live performance.
- Perform in the NORY Magic Show as they showcase their robotic magic and amaze friends and family with their creations.
