They are having a great time and Ohio State does a great job with the activities and keeping the kids that are in first grade all the way up seventh grade engaged.” “Word has gotten out and we have a lot of repeat students from last year,” Hernandez said. The school had 58 students in grades first-through-seventh participating n the camp this year –about 20 more students than last year. So the school is able to participate in it for three more years, according to Megan Hernandez, East Liverpool City Schools Commmunication Director. ![]() The camp, which was intended to provide students with some enrichment over the summer, is funded by a five-year grant. This is the second year East Liverpool Schools have participated in the Program with OSU Ext. Lily Cooper, 6, said that the pizza was her favorite part of camp. The tiles were coded with commands based on their colors such as turn right, turn left, turn diagonally, start, stop and spin. Students used different colored tiles to build a track for the cars to run on. The students also gained some robotics and coding experience using INDI cars which have a senor on the bottom to detect the colors of tiles beneath them. She liked it when they rolled the motors up with the rubber bands and let them go.įor the younger students, instead of paddle boats they experimented with a mixture of Dawn dishwashing soap and glycerin which they blew through a water bottle with a washcloth attached to the bottom by a rubber band to make bubble snakes.Īccording to Rose, the bubbles snakes help the students understand STEM by giving them the opportunity to experiment with recipes and the reactions from the recipe, which they discuss after the activity.įirst grader student Emily Cooper, 6, said the bubble snakes were her favorite part of camp. ![]() Rose also noted that the crafting ties into STEM with the students learning how to plan, develop designs and engineer projects.Īmelia said the boats were fun to do. intern Brielle Rose indicated that projects like the paddle boats don’t always work the first time, so students learn to experiment and adjust the project to get it to work. The students then tested to see if their boats worked in a pool of water. On “Pirate Day,” the students designed and constructed paddle boats using black food storage containers, foam pieces and rubber bands. The sticks were used to create the sound of a storm. “We had this big stick and we put sticks inside the little holes, and we put little balls in it and tipped them up and down,” Amelia said. The rain sticks were one of fifth-grader Amelia Travalinga’s, 11, favorite activities. “Agriculture Day” was spent learning about soil, eggs, chickens and planting.įor second grader Maggie Muldoon, 7, learning about the Earth was her favorite part of camp.ĭuring “Around the World Day,” students learned about different cultures and locations around the world by crafting the Leaning Tower of Pisa out of spaghetti and marshmallows painting maps using shave cream and food coloring crafting Chinese dragon puppets and, using South American rain sticks to create a storm while doing a rain dance. ![]()
