Camp Rocket report: Summer school at Adair Co. Primary Center Extended educational opportunities for kindergarten, 1st and 2 grade students. Recent highlight was visit by the Real Science Guy Click on headline for complete story with photo(s) By Dana Harmon Student learning is continuing this summer for students at Adair County Primary Center, 158 Col. Casey Drive, Columbia, KY 42728. This summer Camp Rocket is providing extended educational opportunities for 69 kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade students. Students are sharpening their reading and math skills using Lexia Core 5 Reading, Accelerated Reading and DreamBox Math. They are also getting plenty of Science and Technology each day. Camp Rocket is a 4 week camp that opens at 7:30amCT and ends at 4pmCT. Today we had a special science lesson from Brad Reynolds, the Real Science Guy. Today's lesson was on Lizards, Snakes and other Reptiles. This program uses live animals to show reptile characteristics and adaptations with a special emphasis on snakes and lizards which account for 95% of the reptile species alive today, are closely related, and belong to the same reptile group. It examines a variety of adaptations including tails that break off, tongues used for smell, and teeth that inject venom. Video technology shows live close-up views of the leftover leg bones in the Boa along with video clips of a Skink's tail coming off as a defense and a snake swallowing prey that is bigger than its head. This presentation covered science concepts like Biological change, Diversity, Classification, Adaptations and Life cycles. Animals featured today were the Green Iguana, Bearded Dragon, Crested Gecko, Monitor Lizard, Uromastyx, Skink, Legless Lizard, Boa Constrictor, Garter Snake, Milk Snake, Hognose Snake, Black Rat Snake and Venomous snake specimens. Needless to say our students will be talking about this for several days to come. Dana Harmon This story was posted on 2014-06-19 13:03:01
