Meteorology Magic Falmouth ME July 22 - 26, 2024

Monday

Today we talked about what are the different aspects of weather. We touched on some keywords like humidity, condensation, and evaporation. We were all enraptured by our cloud/rain in a jar experiment.

Tuesday

Cloud day!!!!! We learned the different cloud names, how to identify them, and what these clouds can tell us about the weather. We had so much fun with our shaving cream cloud experiments and we made cloud scapes.

Wednesday

This is the day that all the campers had been eagerly await... natural disaster day. We constructed and erupted volcanos and learned about volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, hurricanes, and tornados.

Thursday

This was a great day to discuss the different careers that you have related to weather. We brainstormed an impressive list and then got to work scripting our own weather forecasts. Using imagination, props, costumes and our newfound weather knowledge, our campers filmed their forecasts.

Friday

The kids finished up the week with a weather mural and a formal viewing of the edited weather forecast. And of course, we finished the day off with our classic sprinklers and popsicles.

DaVinci Diner - Falmouth

DaVinci Diner July 7-11, 2025 Dear Families, This week, chefs stayed busy creating a variety of delicious cuisine! Monday On Monday, campers decorated aprons to use across the week. They also designed their dream restaurants and made meringue. Here were the learning takeaways from this cooking experience: How to separate an egg How to listen for a change in noise from the beaters: a true chef can hear it and know when their meringue is done! Baking is all about chemical reactions. The egg whites, when beaten, mix with the air and take on a whole new consistency. It is possible to under and over whip the meringue. BE CAREFUL ! Lastly, in almost any baking dish, you will find salt and vanilla. Believe it or not, salt actually makes sweets sweeter because the salt's tartness brings out the sweetness, and vanilla doesn’t taste good on its own but it is aromatic, and will once again bring out the sweetness and leave your dish smelling great. Tuesday On Tuesday we made bread...

Week at the Sandy Spa

WEEK AT THE SANDY SPA ON COUSIN'S ISLAND DaVinci's Spa week is all about health beauty and science. We talk about healthy diets, exercise, products, and friendships. Here were some highlights of our week! Spa Products One of our big focuses at the sandy spa is that it is so important to know what you are putting on your body. Organic can be expensive and sometimes misleading. We made all sorts of spa products this week: Sugar Lip Scrub Avocado Face Masks Foot Scrub Hand Sanitizer Goat Soap Bath-bombs Almost every product we made contained ingredients that are most likely already in your pantry.
