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.
Physics & Bodily-Kinesthetics
Inventors use their own movement to explore how balance, force, and energy affect the way things work. As they build motion-powered inventions and test them through active play, they discover how bodies and machines follow the same principles of physics.
