Day 8: Mini-Projects!

The CITs celebrated the heat by having Dress-Up day:
Camp started by going around to each group of campers and evaluating and discussing their hypotheses. It brought up a good conversation of what is a testable hypothesis and what is just a statement that has an obvious outcome. It is very easy to fall into the trap of writing a statement in which you already know what is going to happen, especially when doing a project for the first time.

Following that, we sent the camper on their way to start their experiments. They spent the whole rest of the day collecting and analyzing their data for their mini-projects.













We got a lot of work done today, and tomorrow there will be more to do. It was hot, so we gave them freeze pops on their way out to cool off.
