Subject: Woods Charter School Holding Science Mini-Camp for Students from Grades 4 Through 7

*Date*: Saturday, May 1st

*Time*: 10 am to 2:30 pm

*Cost*: $30 for Woods Charter students/siblings and $40 for non-Woods Charter students if you’re supplying your own T-shirt.  Please add $5 to camp fee if you need one, please indicate T-shirt size.  This is an 8th grade field trip fundraiser.

*Description of Activities*:  The first part of this camp is to use principles of science to create art.  We will use the chemistry of chromatography of ink to make concentric patterns on a T-shirt.  The physics of optical polarization will be used to create an abstract and colorful window hanging.  Then, we’ll dissect an owl pellet and isolate DNA from fruits.

To sign up for the camp, please contact Phoebe Shih at .  Camp is limited to the first 12 people who sign up..
