SciFun Camp: Colossal Sea Creatures of the Past
Around 80 million years ago, during the Cretaceous Period, a shallow seaway cut through the middle of North America. Instead of dinosaurs, which were land animals, this seaway was home to huge sea creatures. From large fish like Xiphactinus audax to one of the largest mosasaurs that ever lived, Tylosaurus proriger, there were a lot of massive, toothy predators roaming our oceans.
In this camp, you will learn about the famous (and not-so-famous) animals that once patrolled North America’s waters from around 380 million years ago all the way up to about 34 million years ago.

SciFun Camp: Comets, Meteors, and Asteroids (day 1 of 2)
Earlier in the year, we learned about the big objects - ranging from planets all the way up to galaxies. Galaxies, of course, can be incredibly massive and contains hundreds of billions of stars. Their scales are difficult for humans minds to comprehend.
What about the smaller objects? Did you know there are small pieces of material raiding down on Earth constantly? Most of these things are very small, even the size of pebbles. Of course, there are also the large asteroids and comets that can, potentially, leave huge impacts when they hit planets. In this camp, we will learn about these small space objects.

SciFun Camp: Science of Color
You’ve probably learned about the colors that make up a rainbow, but do you know how those colors appear in the first place? To answer this question, we’ll replicate one of the most famous scientific experiments in history, performed by perhaps the most famous scientist in history.
Of course, knowing the science of how color works means you can be creative and come up with all kinds of uses for color. You can make your own color pigments from rocks, separate colors from candy, understand why some color combinations look better to our eyes than others, even learn why different colors can put you in different moods, and so much more!

SciFun Camp - Microbiology: Germs and other Microbes
We learned about some huge objects out there in space - some of which span tens of thousands of light years across! What about the world of the small? Are tiny things a big deal? Well, tiny things we commonly call “germs” have had a huge impact on humans since at least the veg innings of our civilization.
In this first-ever microbiology camp, we will learn about tiny organisms called microbes. It turns out that these things are everywhere on our planet - there are microbes living in deep sea vents at the bottom of the ocean, and there are microbes living in our eyebrows. Most of them, by the way, don't harm us. In this camp, we will learn about these tiny organisms.

SciFun Camp: Science of Science Fiction (day 1 of 2)
What’s your favorite sci-fi movie? Did you ever wonder if the gadgets and advanced technologies you see in the movies could exist one day, or even already exist? Well, it turns out some of these technologies featured in movies actually went on to become real...or at least somewhat real.
While we haven’t invented time travel (yet?), there are some cool sci-fi technologies we can explore and experiment with in this camp. Learn how to control magnetic fields, hover objects above ground, and make a certain glowing sword. Even the things and ideas that have so far not come to pass - think telepathy, teleporting humans, bending space and time and traveling through a wormhole, bringing back dinosaurs - are interesting and fun to think about!

SciFun Camp - Spiders and other Non-Insects
If you’ve come to any nature-related camps before, you know that a walk around our wetlands usually involves seeing insects. They are very common animals - in fact, one quarter of all described species.on the planet is a beetle! But what about the other invertebrates? Spiders, mites, isopods (“rollie pollies”) and other invertebrates deserve attention too.
In this camp, we will learn about the “non-insects”. Many of these little animals are also predators of insects, which helps keep their populations from getting too large and overwhelming their environment. This makes them important for biocontrol, which we will do an activity for.

SciFun Camp - Science of the Senses
Think about the activities you do in a day, or even just in the morning when you get ready for school. What senses do you use? If you made a list of all the things you encounter even before arriving at school, how late ng do you think it would be? Our senses are incredibly important to us, and it’s easy to forget how much we rely on them to navigate our day.
In this camp, we will learn about the five senses. You’ve heard of them before, but we will conduct experiments that let us explore how they actually work. As a bonus, we will also learn how our sense of sight can trick us by checking out brain illusions.

SciFun Camp - Science of Machines
Think about all of the machines you use on any given day. How do you think you would do without them? Our automated/electronic machines are pretty new, but there are a lot more objects that don’t require batteries or electricity that humans have relied on for hundreds of thousands of years.
In this camp, you will learn about different types of machines that humans have used and how they work - dating all the way back to the first hand tools made from rocks.

SciFun Camp - Engineering: Rube Goldberg Machines (day 1 of 5)
Do you like to know how machines work? Even our most intricate modern machines boil down to a handful of basic simple devices, such as the lever and pulley. You encounter these simple machines in your daily lives, such as when you open a car door (lever) to hop in and go for a ride.
On the first day of this multi-day camp, we will learn about all of the simple machines and how to construct them. From then on, you will use this knowledge to construct a Rube Goldberg Machine. These contraptions use multiple simple machines chained together to accomplish a task, and you will work as a team to create a machine to perform a special task!

SciFun Camp - Science of Energy
What powers objects to move? We rely on a lot of devices that use energy in some form. Energy is everywhere around us, and humans have figured out how to utilize energy in its different forms to power our societies. In this camp, we will learn what energy is and how it can transfer from one form to another.

SciFun Camp - Earth Day Cleanup
The weather is warming up, and plants and animals everywhere have emerged from their winter slumber. You may know that April 22nd is called Earth Day. It is a day to celebrate nature and learn how to protect the planet’s habitats. It is our one home, and we all need to look after it.
In honor of Earth Day, you will learn how to care for natural habitats and why they are important. We will tour our wetlands and investigate different habitats and the plant/animal interactions that are important for their health. We will watch for unique wetland wildlife, such as the Red-wing blackbird. In the afternoon, weather permitting, we will spend even more time outside and have the chance to get a little dirty and work on our butterfly garden!

SciFun Camp - Crafting with Nature
Have you ever thought about making things with some objects you find while walking in nature? Plant parts like stems, leaf blades, even seed pods can be used for some interesting creations. In this camp, we will walk around and look for natural objects we can use to make whatever decorative creations you like, and you will have examples to help inspire you. Also, we will learn how to weave use cattail reeds and blackberry canes (stems). As always, you can take these items home!

SciFun Camp: The Science of Flight: Birds to Balloons to Rockets
For centuries, people have tried to figure out how to get up into the air and fly like a bird. From Leonardo da Vinci’s drawings of his flying machines, to hot air balloons, to quirky peddling contraptions and the first true self-powered plane, it took humans quite some time to get it right. Once we cracked the code, we quickly went from rickety-looking airplanes to rockets that launched people to the moon.
In this camp, you will explore the science of flight and watch and learn from past inventions. With all the space we have around the museum, you can test out your own flying machines that you design yourself.

SciFun Camp: Planets, Stars, and Galaxies (day 2 of 2)
Cooler months are a great time for star viewing. The cold and dry air means less humidity in the atmosphere, which generally makes for clearer skies. On the first day of this two-day camp, we will learn about astronomy and stargazing. We will conduct experiments to explore how gravity works, why eclipses happen, how to navigate using stars, and watch videos. On day two, we will talk about space exploration. You’ve probably heard about planned missions to the moon and Mars. What would you bring with you if you went on such a mission? How would you construct a Martian lander? What would it be like to visit a world beyond our solar system?

SciFun Camp: Ancient Mammals of Kansas
Dinosaurs get a lot of attention, but the giant mammals that once roamed the Sunflower State were just as fascinating. One thing that makes this group of animals interesting is their existence coincided with modern humans right here in Kansas! In fact, studies show that the first people who migrated down into modern-day Kansas were probably hunting mammoths.
In this camp, learn about mammoths, sabre-toothed cats, giant ground sloths of the last ice age as well as the much more ancient mammalian ancestors that were here even before the age of dinosaurs. Alongside some activities and videos, you will use your knowledge of these animals and the environments they lived in to join in discussion about what caused their extinction.

SciFun Camp: Water, Wind, and Weather
You’ve probably heard people say if you don’t like the weather in Kansas, wait until tomorrow. This is a bit of an overstatement, but Kansas can have pretty big temperature swings, sometimes from one day to the next. What drives the weather here? Why do we get so many tornadoes? What adaptations do native plants have for surviving in our highly variable seasons, and what happens when you remove them?
In this day camp, we’ll conduct experiments to show how and why clouds form and the weather they produce. We will also see how the weather and climate affect the land, and what people can do to protect both natural habitats and neighborhoods from damaging weather events.

SciFun Camp: Science of Sports
With the start of school underway, have you been practicing for fall sports? September brings with it some popular sports activities - the soccer season is wrapping up, and (American) football season has started! Have you ever wondered what athletes do to train for their sport? (Hint: It’s not just physical conditioning.)
In this one-day camp, you will learn about the science that goes behind training for popular sports. While there will be outdoor activities (weather permitting), we will also conduct experiments with energy and motion.

SciFun Camp: Science of Autumn and Bread Making
Autumn is a time of transition. While we are still technically in summer, meteorological autumn starts on September 1st. (Astronomical autumn starts a few weeks later, and we'll talk about the difference between the two.) In this camp, we’ll explore the science behind the Autumn changes. We’ll learn about the habits of animals as they prepare for winter, make observations of plants in our wetlands, and dissect pumpkins.
Autumn is also the time to harvest and store grains and other crops. Learn about different harvesting techniques as well as how to make your own bread!

SciFun Camp: Science of Summer Olympics (K-5th) (Day 5 of 5)
Do you like to watch the Olympics? Did you know that this sporting event was first held in ancient Greece thousands of years ago? If you play sports or watch sports, you can appreciate how fit and well-trained athletes must be in order to excel at their sport. While each sport can be hugely different (imagine basketball vs. bowling), all athletes need to exercise and train. They need to learn balance, to use certain muscles, to eat properly…and this all involves science.
In this final camp of the summer, you will learn how athletes from centuries past to the modern day have trained to become the best athletes in the world and participate in the Olympics. On the last day, we will have a field day (sort of a mini-Olympics) where you will participate in events that test your body and mind!

SciFun Camp: Science of Summer Olympics (K-5th) (Day 2 of 5)
Do you like to watch the Olympics? Did you know that this sporting event was first held in ancient Greece thousands of years ago? If you play sports or watch sports, you can appreciate how fit and well-trained athletes must be in order to excel at their sport. While each sport can be hugely different (imagine basketball vs. bowling), all athletes need to exercise and train. They need to learn balance, to use certain muscles, to eat properly…and this all involves science.
In this final camp of the summer, you will learn how athletes from centuries past to the modern day have trained to become the best athletes in the world and participate in the Olympics. On the last day, we will have a field day (sort of a mini-Olympics) where you will participate in events that test your body and mind!
For students entering grades K - 5th grade
Drop-off for camps is from 8:30-9:00 and pick-up is from 3:00-3:30.

SciFun Camp: Dinos to Rhinos (3rd-5th) (Day 5 of 5)
If you’ve ever been to our museum before, you know something about dinosaurs. You probably also know why the dinosaurs died out…but what happened afterwards? How do you go from a world full of dinosaurs to a world full of large mammals? The answer is much more complicated than most people realize, and you will learn how and why we have the animals around that we do today!
In this prehistoric science camp, you will learn not just about the famous dinosaurs of the Cretaceous Period and how they went extinct, but how the survivors of that mass extinction went on to become so successful. Hint: a lot of it has to do with adaptation, or how well something is able to survive in its environment. We will do experiments to demonstrate how adaptation works, and we will also debate what life would have been like if that asteroid never hit 66 million years ago!
For students entering grades 3rd - 5th grade
Drop-off for camps is from 8:30-9:00 and pick-up is from 3:00-3:30.
