Day 1

Greetings!

Our first day of camp was very exciting. To begin our campers got to uncover a fossil of a trilobite in the same method as scientists do!

Next they got to learn the many ways that real live scientists work in the Panama Rainforest. What an exciting week is ahead.

For labs the first lab was all about Fiddler Crabs. We got to create our own claw and then learn to communicate in the exact way that the crabs do.

 

The second lab was our Mystery Mix. Campers got to sort rocks, bones, shells and matter from an unknown location. After learning about how the tectonic plates have moved we realized that our matter was from Mt. Everest.
