It’s another wonderful Tuesday and we hope that everyone had a lovely weekend! Just as lovely was the time our campers had during week 4 of summer camp here at EIS! Our theme was Booming Biology, and not one minute was lacking excitement! We started the week with darkroom photography where the students had the chance to develop their pictures. The students also got to make paper rockets and test them out in Engineering. Then they learned about fermentation and made sourdough starter in Chemistry. They also looked at plant structures and learned how celery transports water in Biology! On Thursday, we had an incredible presentation from Project Wildlife where the students met a very unique opossum named Spinner! They also learned about resources for San Diego’s wildlife, and how wild animals are rehabilitated and returned to the wild. This week’s field trip was to the Living Coast Discovery Center! There, the students explored the beach and looked for small crabs. After lunch, they walked through the aquarium and learned about horned sharks, rays, and a special sea turtle named Sapphire. All in all, it was another fabulous week at EIS, filled with fun and learning!
