Camp Au Pair – STEM/Science week

Thanks to COVID19, a lot of kids are going to miss out on day camp this year. Our au pairs can run a weekly camp for the kids that will be even more fun, since it’s designed just for them! Plus they don’t have to spend all that time on the bus going back and forth. Every week I’ll post some ideas from the Au Pair in America Pinterest, Camp Au Pair boards. But feel free to browse them on your own.

This week we are going to do some amazing experiments that are sure to keep the kids engaged. Our Pinterest board with a ton of ideas for kids of every age. Check it out and pick one or two for every day this week.

Erica Stolan (11-19-17). I think this is an interesting science activity. I also believe it could be STEM related because it has to do a little with science math and engineering. Since Students will have to know how to build a sturdy structure to hold the weight of someone and relate gravity and mass into the task. Overall I think it is a fun science lab to incorporate. How to Make Butter in a Jar. Super cool science for kids. And it's so easy! Just 10 minutes and a few simple ingredients.

Mad scientists – have fun!
