02 — A PRACTICAL SEQUENCE

THE SCIENCE CAMP LEARNING ROUTE

Use the same checklist from first search to final review.

  1. 01

    Choose

    Match the program focus to a student’s interests, age and prior experience.

  2. 02

    Prepare

    Check schedule, clothing, accessibility, equipment and any prerequisites.

  3. 03

    Experiment

    Review activity formats, instructor support and safety procedures.

  4. 04

    Measure

    Ask how students record observations, compare results and handle uncertainty.

  5. 05

    Review

    Look for reflection, feedback and a clear way to share completed work.
