A look at the Jr. Sleuth Summer Camp, part of Penn State's Science-U summer camp series designed to introduce children to a variety of sciences through fun and educational experiments. Eberly College of Science.
Science-U 1
Participants at Penn State's Science-U Jr. Sleuths summer camps are encouraged to create a hypothesis explaining what results they predict prior to conducting a fun and educational chemistry experiment. Following the experiment, each camper then logs they actual results in there notebook. Science-U, part of Penn State's Eberly College of Science,
Science-U 2
Seeing the results of an experiment with polymers excited campers at Penn State's Science-U Jr. Sleuths summer camp. The Jr. Sleuths camp is designed to introduce fun and educational chemistry exploration to youngsters entering the 2nd and 3rd grade. Go to www.sciencecamps.psu.edu/2012-camps for more information about the variety of camps available at Penn State's Science-U.
Science-U 3
Campers at Penn State's Science-U Jr. Science Sleuths camp observed how a balloon can be inflated by releasing oxygen from a vinegar solution in a plastic bottle. Jr. Science Sleuths is one of several fun and educational science exploration camps for kids hosted by Penn State's Eberly College of Science.

Science-U 4
Campers at Penn State's Science-U Jr. Sleuths camp were introduced to a giant trough of water mixed with corn starch and asked to observe the texture and composition of the mixture. Science-U provides a variety of science camps for youngsters throughout the summer at locations around Penn State's University Park campus. Go to www.sciencecamps.psu.edu/2012-camps for more information about Science-U.
Science-U 5
Following examination of the milky solution of corn starch and water, campers at Penn State's Science-U Jr. Sleuths camp were asked to try to run through the trough and found they could walk on water. The experiment showed youngsters entering the 2nd and 3rd grade that some substances are not easily defined and can take on different compositions.
Science-U 6
Campers attending Penn State's Science-U Jr. Sleuths camp enjoyed watching the results of combining Mentos with a large bottle of Coke. Jr. Sleuths camp is designed to introduce the world of chemistry to youngsters entering the 2nd and 3rd grade and is one of many fun and educational summer camps hosted by Penn State's Science-U.
Science-U 7
Campers at Penn State's Science-U Jr. Science Sleuths camp enjoyed the results of a chemical reaction experiment on June 28. Jr. Science Sleuths camps is a fun and educational chemistry experience for children entering 2nd and 3rd grade. Science-U is part of Penn State's Eberly College of Science and hosts a variety of youth science camps throughout the summer. Go to www.sciencecamps.psu.edu/2012-camps for more information about the variety of science camps available at Science-U.
Science-U 8
Joe Nichisti, center, assisted campers attending Penn State's Science-U Jr. Sleuths camps begin an experiment that introduced mixing individual polymers to create a new polymer. Jr. Science Sleuth camp is one of several summer sessions hosted by Science-U and invites kids to investigate the world of chemistry through fun and educational experiments. Nichisti is a senior at Penn State majoring in chemistry.
Science-U 9
Combining polymers like glue and soap to make a new polymer was one of many educational and fun experiments youngsters at Penn State's Jr. Sleuths camp conducted while attending Science-U on Penn State's University Park campus. The program was designed to introduce children entering the 2nd and 3rd grade to the world of chemistry through enjoyable experiments guided by educators from the region and Penn State students majoring in education.
