Starting this morning, the campers discovered a new pastime – lanyard making. After finding out about the camp’s large assortment of string, everyone began choosing their colors to make the fun key chains. The campers are now trailing strings wherever they walk, using any spare moment to work on their lanyards.
Today the students are studying pressure. The class did a variety of experiments to gain a better understanding of air pressure. One notable experiment included watching a marshmallow inside a homemade air vacuum – the marshmallow expanded, almost doubling in size. The teacher also suggested the kids (with adult supervision) check out this youtube video at home that shows a marshmallow peep undergoing the same conditions:

This afternoon the students will visit the National Weather Center to learn about how meteorologists predict weather and what tools they use.
Tomorrow the students are headed to the Arbuckle Mountains for a field trip. Because of this, the next blog update will not be posted until 7:00 PM tomorrow (Wednesday). Be sure to check back then to see pictures from the trip!
