DescriptionBack to top 

Join Spectrum of Science for an enriching & memorable summer of science learning!! Escape the summer blues & learning losses & discover exciting hands on science!! Each day the children will explore, discover & test experiments and will take home their project to continue the learning!! Kids, launch a rocket! (mom its safe to launch in their rooms) Concoct ooey gooey squishy chemistry & take home your very own lab rack and formulas. Use a motor & build a vibrating bug! Build a Knet Tethered SOSF Bot, Do the BLT, Build it, Learn it & Take it!! ID & make fossils, bling a shiny box, morph a garment, travel at warp speed & discover solar ovens! Myth busting challenges, can you crawl through a piece of paper and the real science behind mentos!! Engineer a tunnel! Dinosaurs & dragons in the wetlands! Is science boring? No, it is exploring! Let No Future Scientist Be Left Behind!!

Tired of the same old same old silly science camps? Join SPECTRUM OF SCIENCE with zip, zing and bling this summer!!!
BRAINSTORM SCIENCE IN A BUCKET! Students look for challenges in this bucket of discovery including Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Sustainable Science, & more! Curiosity & imagination rule! Simple engineering designs & lenticular lenses to explore! Find a source of energy in a tiny container! Design It, Invent It! Engineer It! Use a motor & build a vibrating bug! Explore magnets & electrical circuits! Be a museum model creator: ID fossils then make fossils of bugs & wrap a mummy! Use a pirate code or a binary code! What makes rocks bubble? Melt paper! Explore a mystery surface & sink in chemistry of quicksand!
SCIENCE & ART OF FASHION! Calling all future designers! Where is science in fashion? It comes before production of a garment! Find behind the scenes activities in this creative & innovative unusual camp! Use fabric swatches for shapes, color & texture! Bling a shiny silver box for your fashion design kit!! Create a mood board & use these inspirations to design & paint an apron! Decoupage your very own manikin! Fashion jewelry from food! Morph a garment!! Electrify an accessory! What can you with a roll of duct tape? Watch the upside down movement of molecules! Zing with fashion physics & fun!! This is the technology and design behind fashions! Note: No sewing or drawing!!! Enrollment is limited
SCIENCE RETURNS: Repeat our popular school year projects! Become a junior engineer! Do the BLT Build it, Learn it, Take it! Dynamic, daft & dippy devices designed to make work easier! Building, electricity & machines! This lab includes building a KNEX TETHERED SOSF BOT make it roll on & reverse! Then whirl & swirl with turbulence & real chemistry! Experience slippery, slidey, roaming, foaming chemical reactions! Concoct ooey gooey squishy chemistry combinations! Take home the SOSF BOOKLET OF FORMULAS & YOUR OWN LAB RACK for chemistry in the making! Zoom into the far yonder & scope out space by building a recycled rover! Will humans one day visit Mars? Explore our natural planet & investigate the tiny world via a microscope! Create a special slide to view the minis in the world! Make a rain forest in a pocket! Be a science snoop! Learn about habitat fragmentation & killer plants! Find alien species right here in California! Explore the meaning of sustainable science! There is never a dull moment with these snazzy & spirited science labs!
SPACE AND ROCKETRY! Face the future! Surf with solar science! Travel into space & live there! Many questions to answer Why? How? Who? What? Where to go? Search for life on Mars! Thrash out Pluto & the Kuiper Belt! Check on warp speed & antimatter plus spinning galaxies!! Build a space habitat & make a space game beware of the black hole! Using recycled materials build a rolled rocket & launch it, then re-launch again & again!! Make a solar oven what does it need & where will it work? Summer is a season for meteor showers have fun discovering these streaks of light! Rockets do NOT contain motorized units.
SCIENCE CHALLENGE! Are you smarter than a .. Explore, test, experiment & discover!! Build it, Learn it & Take it, the BLT of engineer design!! Remote control vehicles, indoor rockets, bubbling, fizzing chemical reactions. Go up and down!! Sewer slugs, specialized explosive devices and explosions in a polymer! Myth busting challenges, can you crawl through a piece of paper and the real science behind mentos!!
CASTRO VALLEY SCIENCE RETURNS: This camp features a return of our popular projects done in the 2010-2011 after school program! Become a junior engineer! Do the BLT Build it, Learn it, Take it!

There is never a dull moment with these snazzy & spirited science labs! This is a 5 week camp; registration will be accepted on a week by week basis, callfor specifics.
Baldwin - Science Explorations!!: 19 mornings of dynamic, non stop hands on make & take science discovery projects that will keep a curious scientist truly enthralled! Here is science in action! Learn the BLT of physics (build it, learn it, take it) & improvise individual projects! Build a confused magnetic contraption! Engineer a tunnel! Using your discovery kit, switch it on with lights, buzzers & bells! Go prehistoric with dinosaurs plus more ancient & extinct! Map magnetic field lines! : if it bubbles and hisses - is it chemistry? Concoct messy mix ups! Try glorious stuff to squish, drip, squiggle, & squirt! Follow the movement of molecules! Take home the SOSF booklet of formulas & your own lab rack for chemistry in the making! Zoom into the far yonder & scope out space!
