Agastya USA's Science Quest - A Summer of Scientific Exploration
(9:00 AM - 12:00 PM)
Step into the captivating world of "Agastya USA's STEM Camp – Science Quest" and embark on a thrilling journey of scientific exploration in the Agastya way—filled with Aah, Aha, and Ha Ha moments. Our immersive approach to learning, based on hands-on experiences and the "learning by doing" methodology, sets the stage for an extraordinary summer of science filled fun.
Themes and Experiments
Force Fiesta | Dynamics - Newton's Car, Coupled Pendulum, Centrifugal Force
Current Quest | Electricity - Static Electricity, Simple Motor, Electromagnet
Blow Float and Splash |Air/Water/Atmospheric Pressure - Automizer, Magdeburg Hemispheres, Siphon, Submarine
Bio Bliss |Life Sciences - Diaphragm Model (Build & Learn from a model of the human lungs)
Nature Nexus |Natural Sciences - Food Pyramid, Food Chain + Building one cycle, Transpiration Model
The week is meticulously packed with curious activities, creative challenges, and hands-on experiments, providing students with an interdisciplinary deep dive into scientific concepts while fostering a sense of wonder and excitement. In the exciting world of physics, students will embark on a journey with Newton's car, exploring the principles of motion and inertia as they build and experiment with their own miniature vehicles, explore the transfer of energy through coupled pendulums, and experience the outward acceleration of spinning objects, gaining hands-on insights into motion and dynamics.
Heading into electricity, students will harness static charges, witness electrical energy transforming into mechanical motion, and manipulate magnetic fields, deepening their understanding of fundamental electromagnetic principles through captivating experiments.
Transitioning to pressure dynamics, students will undertake hands-on activities to investigate fluid flow, atmospheric pressure, and how the principles of water pressure and density affect underwater movement, collectively gaining a deeper appreciation for the mechanics of fluid systems. They'll then explore ecological concepts through hands-on activities, constructing food pyramids, building food chains, and modelling transpiration to understand the flow of energy and nutrients in ecosystems.
We are excited for students to not only learn scientific principles, but also develop critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a sense of wonder about the natural world. Join us on this exhilarating journey of scientific inquiry and discovery at "Agastya USA's STEM Camp - Science Quest"!
MASTERCHEFS CAMP
Tie on your apron and get out the flour – we’re going to become baking masters! Cheesecake, Cookies, Pies, Cakes, Cake Decoration and more!
For five fun filled days, young Chefs will experience a world of hands-on baking and cooking with their peers and take home the delicious menu that is lined up for you this week. We'll cover fundamentals such as, how to read and follow a recipe, measuring and mixing, and the importance of kitchen safety. Best of all, we'll have a blast creating sweet treats. Whether your little chef is a beginner or an old pro, they will love learning how to make lovely baked goods, all from scratch, to impress their family and friends.
