Our planet is full of exciting secrets - and that's exactly what we want to discover together at Science Camp! The focus will be on three elements that make life on Earth possible: Soil, rocks and water.
What exactly is soil and why is it so important for plants, animals and us humans? What stories are hidden in rocks and how can they tell us something about the earth's past? And what role does water play for all life - and how does it move through our environment?
You will get to the bottom of these questions with exciting experiments, research assignments and lots of discoveries of your own. You will try things out for yourself, observe and find out how the natural processes in "System Earth" work.
Look forward to a varied camp where you will have the chance to explore, marvel, understand and have lots of fun for a week from 9 am to 4 pm!
