"The camps we organize are a clear reflection of our project educational , they are a window to finding, where children have learned that science is all around us, and that it is vital to understand and care for the world we live in," says Marie-anne Reynell, director of development of the Science Museum University of Navarra.
In the nature camps, children have been able to learn about the biodiversity of soil, air and water, and how to protect it. Learning has been done through games, experiments, crafts and activities to observe the fauna and flora of the University of Navarra's own campus .
In the camps about Chemistry the schoolchildren have experimented with water, earth, wind, fire and light. Following the scientific method, and adapting the explanations to the level of each child, concepts such as surface tension, combustion, crystallization, convection current, vortex, velocity, density, and osmosis, among others, have been introduced.
The urban camps of the Science Museum of the University of Navarra are aimed at kindergarten and elementary school children and are designed as a fun way to spend the summer learning and enjoying science. Their learning program has been designed by teachers from Chemistry, and by the Science Museum team, and are taught by students from Degree in Science and in Education and Psychology from the University of Navarra.
