Survivor Girl Grades 6-8
Survival skills meet science as girls survive their troop’s (make-believe) camping trip in Yellowstone National Park. Although scientists didn’t predict it, there was an earthquake which shook the troop’s tents for two minutes, broke the water pumps, and disrupted the generators in the park. To make matters worse, all cell phones are dead and the girls can’t call for help. The worst part is that the troop’s animal-proof food box fell down a ravine. As a troop, the girls must develop a wind-powered crank to lift their food box, create a water filter to clean water for drinking, build a shelter to withstand any aftershocks, and design a car prototype that will make it over the terrain to deliver their message to potential rescuers. Along with learning how to survive in the wild like an engineer, girls will experience various science, technology, and engineering activities, such as extracting DNA from strawberries, creating working circuits, and launching paper rockets. $300 per session
