Ceramics, Ooey Gooey Science, and Hogwarts for Muggles

Thursday, August 4th, 2011

It’s one of our busiest weeks of summer activities with lots of experimentation and exploration in Ooey Gooey Science, creations of clay masterpieces in Ceramics, and practice and games surrounding spells and charms at Hogwarts for Muggles. The laughter and smiles are contagious! Here are a few photos taken during today’s classes.

We have two more weeks of activities if you’re looking for something fun to round out the summer before school starts. Check out the summer activities button on the school website to learn more about Plein Aire Painting, Fencing, and Crash Course for the SAT.

Summer School: Ooey Gooey Science Finale

Friday, August 13th, 2010

From Kari Boazman: “Sadly, today was our last day of Ooey Gooey Science Camp. We made two different types of ice cream, one in an ice cream maker and one in plastic baggies with ice. We also made bubble snakes and bubble prints. Our finale was to make Mentos volcanoes.

Thank you so much for sharing your children with us! We had a great week of science experiments.”

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

Kari Boazman, our Ooey Gooey teacher, sent in this update: “Yesterday we made two different types of silly putty, also known as Slime. We made Raining Color and our favorite…..Purple Volcanoes! Today, we painted with frozen water colors, created liquid colored layers to learn about density, made puffy paint and painted with it, conducted an experiment called ‘The Big Fizz’ and launched Alka-Seltzer rockets!! I am not sure who is having more fun: me or the kids???”
