Good morning and welcome to Camp.

I'm Lori.

>>I'm Dan.

>>And we are coming to you from Camp Fowler, located in Orfield, Pennsylvania.

>>We have a lot of great activity scheduled for you this week, campers.

We're going to be getting up and moving around and doing some kickboxing.

Then we're going to visit our friends at ArtsQuest to do some crafts.

>>Plus, we'll be visited by some local teachers.

Let's go join our friends, Isaac and Jen, and learn about committing to goals.

>>Hey, Campers.

Welcome back to Day 2, to committing to goals.

I'm Dan.

>>I'm Isaac.

>>I'm Jenn.

>>And we have our friends here, Liz and Caleb, to join in in our activity that focuses on committing to goals.

So, when you're focused on a goal, Jenn and Isaac, is there a lot of communication involved?

>>Well, sometimes I can get really focused on it myself, and I probably don't communicate as much as I should.

>>But usually you find, especially if you don't have the resources that you need to complete your goal that you have to ask others for help.

>>Bingo.

All right?

Especially when you're in a big group and you're trying to get one goal, you've got to talk.

You've got to communicate.

You got to find ways to get where you need to go.

So in this activity, we call it the ping pong challenge.

All right?

So, all you need at home, kids, is, you need some paper towel cut out cardboard.

All right?

Here's a longer one.

This is from one of those wrapping papers.

You cut out cardboard.

This is going to be the transportation device for our activity.

And we have our friend Fred.

Everybody say, "Hi, Fred".

>>Hi, Fred!

All right.

Now, Fred, he's here at Camp Fowler, and he's really, really hot.

Really hot, very thirsty.

So what Fred wants to do is, he wants to travel from one end of camp to the other end of camp.

So the goal for you four is to take Fred and have him travel from one side here to that black bucket that's filled with water so he can cool off, because today is a really hot day.

Now, here's the guidelines.

Here's the rules.

Once you have your cardboard, you can not touch Fred.

All right?

With your fingers or any other body part, you have to keep Fred on your cardboard at all times.

The other rule is, if Fred is on your cardboard and he's rolling, all right, you can't walk around with Fred like that.

Think of your feet as being glued to the ground.

All right?

So you can't move.

You're stuck to the ground once Fred's on your piece of cardboard.

And you guys got to communicate and work together to try to get Fred to where he needs to go.

All right?

So, I'm going to hand these out randomly.

There you go.

There you go.

There you go.

There you go.

Now, I'm going to slide over here at the starting line for Fred.

All right.

On count of three.

One, two and three.

Oh, rats!

All right.

OK.

That's OK.

All right.

>>We tried.

It was a good first try.

>>Good first try.

OK, here we go again.

One, two and three.

>>OK, I'm good, I'm good.

OK, whoops, sorry.

>>You got it.

>>Yeah!

All right.

Fred is now relaxing in his little hot tub.

Well, pool, here up at camp.

All right, let me grab your cardboard, and I'm going to talk with you guys briefly about, for this activity, what was kind of hard about this activity?

What was kind of hard, challenging?

>>I think it was challenging that the ball was moving the whole time.

I couldn't stop.

We had to pay attention to what was moving and who was moving and not run into each other.

I think I bumped Caleb a little bit when he was trying to get down there.

>>You didn't expect to be perfect the first time, but you guys did a good job by picking yourselves up, by having Fred fall and then starting back over again and then trying it again.

So overall, I thought you guys did a good job communicating with each other and that's really good and that's really important in life.

All right, Campers, our journal prompt for today is, what is the importance of having communication?

All right?

So you go ahead and fill that out for today, and I hope you enjoyed our activity for the ping pong challenge.

And we'll see it again later.

Bye.

>>Bye!

>>That was so cool.

Thanks.

Some of our local teachers are joining us this week.

Let's go learn something new.

>>Hi.

Welcome to camp.

My name is Carla Rodrigues and I teach art in the Eastern Area School District.

Today, I'll be teaching you a little bit about the Fibonacci number sequence.

Fibonacci comes from this handsome man, Leonardo Fibonacci, an Italian man who lived in the 13th century.

So he was known for his number sequence because he was the very first one, publishing it, not discovering it, not inventing it, which is really interesting.

So the Fibonacci number sequence is basically a number pattern.

Number patterns are very common, and you probably have seen these in school over and over again.

So, for example, the twos four, six, eight, ten, 12 is a pattern.

And that pattern, like all the other patterns, follow a rule.

This is plus two, which means that the next number is two more than the previous number.

Same thing happens to this number pattern.

So at ten, ten, 20, 30, 40, 50.

And so on.

Now, the Fibonacci sequence is unique because by looking at it, if you see, it's not really easy to find the rule of the pattern.

But if you look at these numbers very, very carefully, you will find out that by adding two numbers, you will get the next one in the sequence.

So, zero plus one is one, one plus one is two, two plus one is three, three plus two is five and so on.

Now, today, I'm going to show you how to use the Fibonacci number sequence to create a piece of artwork.

Now, here we add the math skills with artistic skills to create a fantastic project.

Now, this is what we're going gonna do.

You will need a piece of paper.

It can be graph paper.

It can be a blank piece of paper.

And with a ruler, you can draw vertical and horizontal lines perpendicular to each other.

And we're going to start somewhere in here.

And what we're going to do is we're going to draw one square, just starting this sequence with the number one.

Then, we're going to add a number, another number one square.

After that, we're going to add two.

The two by two square.

After that, we're looking at the three.

Not anywhere.

It has to be right next to it, the three by three square.

After that, we're going to add our five, a five by five square.

Quite quickly.

And then after that, we're going to add our next number.

An eight by eight.

So you if you notice, I already have eight squares on the side.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Join that line over there.

And here.

And voila, we have at least a few numbers of the sequence.

So after that, we're going to connect these numbers with a very special line that we call a spiral.

So you should end up with something like this.

So this is going to be the basis of our art project today.

This is what many call the golden ratio.

And if you know a little bit of art history, you will notice the art ratio being applied in architecture, painting, sculpture, and even in nature is able to be found.

So notice how, for example, this same spiral can be found in a sectional seashell or even a rose.

If you look at it from the air view perspective.

Architecture now, the stairs.

Or even the Taj Mahal in India follows the golden ratio.

Have you seen this painting?

The Great Wave by Kanagawa also follows the golden ratio.

How about our famous Mona Lisa?

Did you know it also follows the golden ratio?

It's amazing, isn't it?

So what you can do is, at this point, is you can add any colors, any textures, anything you'd like to your drawing, your very own golden ratio and make it your own.

Now, I'm going to give you a few examples.

The contemporary artists, which means that it's artists that are still among us, applied color and texture to four of those golden ratios designs and created this beautiful painting.

Added The Vitruvian Man by Leonardo da Vinci to create a more texture and more interesting effect to the golden ratio.

And finally, with organic patterns and a different color scheme created another amazing painting.

I hope you had fun learning about the Fibonacci number sequence and I'll see you again soon.

Bye.

>>Thanks.

Now, let's get our heart rate up and do some kickboxing with Priscilla.

>>Hi, everybody, it's Priscilla again.

Camp Fowler Valley Youth House here for your second day of kickboxing.

I'm so excited.

Going to show you a couple of things we did last time.

Remember, you can check the website to get all the workouts.

You're going to start with your bob and weave.

It's always good to warm up before you start exercising.

Remember our jab, slight bend in the elbow.

Don't overlock those joints.

Uppercut is go in for your opponent's chin and then you have your hook.

Side of the head.

You have your body shot, which is a little bit lower.

Let's do that one more time.

Jab, uppercut.

Have a great day.

>>Let's go learn something new.

>>Hi, welcome to day two.

I'm Wendy from Funny Farm Aviaries.

I'm Kevin from Funny Farm Aviaries.

And today, we're gonna talk about the different bees in the hive.

So there was only one male bee in the hive.

And this is called a drone.

The drone is really there for mating with the queen.

They gather no pollen and no nectar.

And there can be about 300 to 500 drones in a very strong hive.

This is the queen.

And we have a queen in our observation hive here.

But she's very large.

She has a torpedo shaped body and her life span is about three to four years.

But really what we're seeing anymore is about two to three years.

So she is the mother of all the bees in the hive.

And even though every bee in the hive is very important, she is the one that runs everything and tells the other bees what to do.

She has a stinger and she only uses it to kill any other queen that could be born in the hive.

And in the beginning, any female egg that is laid has the potential to be a queen, and it's dependent on how they feed it.

So there's a special substance that they give the egg, which is called royal jelly.

And that's given to every egg in the very beginning.

If they extend that feeding of that royal jelly, it creates that torpedo shaped body and it allows that egg to emerge as a queen.

It triggers those characteristics of the queen.

And the last type of bee that we're going to talk about is the worker bee.

And that you'll see the majority of them in here are worker bees.

They make up the largest part of the hive and they're the ones that get the most amount of press because they are the ones that do the majority.

Well, they do pretty much all the work in the hive, taking care of the queen and everything.

So they go through different stages of their life on what they do.

The worker cares for the queen.

They feed the brood.

They clean.

They get rid of all the dirt in the hive.

For example, it's not the queen who determines what types of resources are needed in the hive.

It's the worker bees.

They determine how much carbohydrates and proteins and things that are needed for the hive for them to survive.

And they're the ones who go out and they forage for those things.

And when there's a large source of food that they find, they'll recruit nest mates to have them help out with gathering that.

They're also the ones that have the most anatomically complex body because they're able to carry water, pollen.

And they also have those three stomachs where they are bringing back the nectar, which has turned into honey.

And on their legs, they have what they are called pollen baskets, where they stuff that pollen from each plant that they find, like trees or flowers and they stuff those into those little baskets.

And sometimes if you see a bee that has orange or yellow on its legs, that's the pollen that they're bringing back to the hive.

They bring that back to the hive and they store that as food.

As one of the female casts in the hive, they do have the ovaries of what the queen has.

But because there's a queen present in the hive, they all suppress that.

So they are anatomically correct to lay an egg, but they are not anatomically able to mate.

So they normally suppress everything because that queen emits a pheromone that keeps them from reproducing or laying eggs.

So we talked about the three different types of bees in the hive, the drone, the queen and the worker bee.

And that concludes today.

>>Thanks.

That was great.

Let's check in with our friends from the Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania.

>>Hi, everyone.

I'm Kyra and I'm with the Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania.

And I'm back to talk about earthquakes.

Yesterday we learned about the basics.

What causes an earthquake?

We also talked a little bit about the fact that scientists or seismologists will research all of the tectonic and plate movement and the engineers will use that research to build better, stronger structures in places like the Ring of Fire, that are prone to earthquakes.

So today we're going to put our engineering caps on and we're actually going to build.

Let's start with talking about a shake table.

What is a shake table?

Well, it's a device that is used to mimic the motion of an earthquake or the forces of an earthquake.

And this is really sophisticated.

It's just one example of a shake table.

But there are lots out there and it tests all different various aspects of earthquakes.

But I really wanted to show you something that was cool.

I wanted to show you the world's largest shake table.

It was built in Japan.

And what's amazing about this is that it is a life size model of a seven storey building.

Amazing, right?

Well, what does that mean for us?

We could actually experiment at home using everyday objects.

So let's do that.

All you need is two pieces of sturdy cardboard or foam board and they're going to measure approximately 11 inches by eight and a half inches.

You want two of those.

You want two extra large rubber bands.

Two rubber balls and they could be any type of rubber ball just as long as they're the same size, masking tape and a ruler.

You'll take your two pieces of cardboard or foam board and you'll stack them together, take one extra large rubber band, place it around that one end about two to three inches from the bottom.

Turn it around and do the same thing with your extra large rubber band on the other side.

Then I take one of the rubber balls.

And I slide it in roughly under the rubber band.

I turn it around and I do the same thing with the other ball.

I want it as level as possible so I make adjustments wherever I need to, slide that over a little bit.

Then I take my ruler.

Place some tape.

This is the most technical part of the build.

I place the ruler under the top piece of cardboard and voila.

To test it out, I hold the back or the bottom of the cardboard.

Use my handle or my ruler.

Pull and release.

And we've just simulated an earthquake.

We also can look at other materials that we can use.

I've already built some.

If you don't have regular rubber balls, you might have tennis balls, you might have a paint stirrer.

I'm excited because I even found that rubber, little rubber, bouncy balls, they work really well, but they're so small that I used four.

Let's build a structure and test it out.

I like these blocks because they're already house.

Basic.

Starting from scratch, right?

Build our house.

Let's test it out.

Oh, that fell apart right away.

Well, let's see if we can build a structure that's a little bit sturdier, maybe would withstand more forces.

I went ahead and made this structure because, of course, who doesn't like to build with mini marshmallows?

Right?

So I take my hand, I hold it, I pull back.

It wiggled a little bit, but it still stood up.

That's so exciting.

What you can do is, at home use your creativity with the things you already have.

Don't go out and buy anything special.

I used toothpicks and marshmallows, right?

But you could also use things like connecting blocks.

Build something sturdy, low to the ground.

See if you can build your structure high.

You could even use a little wooden cubes, straws, modeling clay.

Anything that you have around your house.

That's all we have time for today.

Join us tomorrow when we'll be exploring more natural forces and harnessing those powers.

Thanks.

Bye, everyone.

>>That was awesome.

Let's jump over to the Banana Factory and do some crafting with ArtsQuest.

>>Today, I'm going to show you a special painting technique called Tape Resist.

For this, you're going to need masking tape, some sort of paint, some sort of paint brushes and something to paint on.

I'm just using a piece of cardboard that happens to be white on one side.

But this will work with paper.

This will work with a real canvas.

Anything you want.

So what we're going to do for this project is use our masking tape to block out some lines on our cardboard.

And you can make whatever sort of design you want to with this.

When you're doing a tape resist, the whole idea is that the tape is going to block out this white line and the paint won't stick to it.

So one thing I like to do is just kind of use my fingernail to really depress the edges of the tape down because otherwise you might get these little micro bleeds underneath.

And in some instances, I have just this tiny, itty bitty little triangle of space that I missed, so I'm actually going to take a second piece of paper and try to patch over it so I don't wind up with a little bit of paint right there.

And I'm just kind of making a random design.

I don't have that much idea in mind.

Your design can be anything you want it to be.

You can try to make something realistic.

For this kind of thing triangles are super easy to do.

You want to use masking tape in particular or blue painter's tape.

Things like scotch tape and duct tape are great for a lot of projects, but because one of the steps in this is going to be peeling off the tape, you want something that will peel off easily.

Scotch tape and duct tape will both rip whatever you're painting on.

So I am more than ready to start painting now, I think, and some people with this kind of project, they like to go flat color, some people want to do, you can fill each different spot with polka dots or stripes or different patterns.

So I've seen people do this a bunch of cool ways.

Mix up some orange, orange and yellow are two of my favorite colors.

There's nothing wrong with using the same color multiple times.

I'm gonna do a little bit of green right here and I'll do a little bit more pink just on this corner here.

All righty.

My painting looks a bit like a mess right now.

It's all wet and the lines are all over the place.

But now we can try and peel the tape off and see what's underneath.

In an ideal world, you'd wait for your paint to dry for this part, but we're just gonna go for it right now.

And so very carefully for this step, what you do is just peel the tape slowly back.

I can already see I didn't tamp down my edges enough on some parts because there's a little bit of bleed, but it's not too bad.

The slower you go with this, the more likely it'll come out well.

You don't want to just tear it off like a Band-Aid because that's when you make mistakes.

All righty.

We got all of our tape off, my painting is done, and you can see these crisp white lines.

In a few places I messed up, such is life, I peeled off a little bit of the cardboard, I dropped some big globs of paint.

But this is a really fun way to get some crisp lines and to try something new with your painting.

So that's all for today.

Thank you guys for watching.

Tune back in tomorrow for another painting project.

>>What a great day at camp.

We hope you had fun with us today.

>>Join us again tomorrow for more activities, learning and fun.

>>Bye.
