science experiences with Adventure Ocean Explorers?

[OnTheBrink]

I've seen it mentioned that there might be science experiments or such as part of the Adventure Ocean Explorers program. Is that always the case? My daughter is a science nut and would love that!

They do several different "experiments" with a science theme...I can't remember all of them, but the favorite ones with my kids were the volcano and making "space mud" (think thick Slime). We've been on 3 different ships with kids in all 3 age groups over the years, and they've done pretty much the same things. Crayola is a sponsor, and I think the supplies came from them fleetwide. The spacemud was fun to play with, but it somehow got lost before we came home to my carpets. ;)

Ditto to what Nanci mentioned. Although I don't think that the kids actually got to make it; I am under the impression that the AO Explorer staff made it, the kids played with it, and then it was packaged up for them to take home with them! This is what I remember from Liberty a couple of weeks ago.

Yes there are science experiments. My kids made the space mud. We still have it. :)

 

And the kids are the ones to make the mud, not the counselors.

 

On the schedules, you can see listings for "Adventure Science" daily. They do something different each day.

Oh, thanks! I just added that on another board I frequent and realized I never added one here!
