Muggle Magic: The Science of Harry Potter (Grades 4-5)

Unlock the secrets of science with your fellow wizards-in-training! Every young wizard needs a wand to begin their magical journey, so we’ll start by learning the enchanting art of circuits to craft our very own light-up wand. Once we’ve mastered some basic spells, we’ll design our own mystical incantations and discover how to bend our minds with images that seem to come to life. In the starry realm of astronomy, we’ll explore the wonders of the sun, moon, and stars as we gaze beyond the night sky. Next, we’ll venture into the Potions Lab to test the mysterious consistency of troll boogers, awaken our taste buds with Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans, and uncover the science behind the magical art of flight as we build broomsticks that soar through the air. The week will culminate in an exhilarating game of Quidditch, where we'll test our skills and teamwork, and we’ll end our adventure with a frothy, homemade batch of Butterbeer to celebrate. Join us for a week of STEM-filled enchantment, where every spell, potion, and invention brings a little more magic to life!
