Girl Scouts of Central Indiana has several program options for
you to choose from for this age group. A list of those programs
and descriptions are:
Pre-Kindergarten - 2nd Grade
Bubble Fest (STEM) *seasonal dates available in
September & May only.
We are bubbling over with math and science! Students will stand
inside a huge bubble, make big bubbles to measure, use
different instruments to create bubbles, discover “walls” of
bubbles, and more!
Complements Indiana Mathematics Standards: PS.5, K.M.1,
1.M.1, K-2.E.1, K-2.E.2
Butterfly Science
(EE/STEM) *seasonal dates available in
September, April, & May only.
Students will gain a basic understanding of butterflies by learning
about their anatomy and life cycle. Students will also participate in
activities that focus on butterfly migration. Included in your visit
will be a stop at our local butterfly garden to discover the role of
butterflies and other pollinators within the ecosystem.
Complements Indiana Science Standards: 2.LS.1, 2.LS.2, 2.LS.3
EweyGooey Science (STEM) (available as a reverse
field trip)
It might be ewey. It might be gooey. But it’s a whole lot of fun!
Students will make bubbling potions, slimy goo, and some gross, yet
exciting experiments! These lab creations are designed to help
students explore the three states of matter.
Complements Indiana Science Standards: SEPS.2, SEP.3, K.PS.1,
K.PS.2, 1.PS.1, 1.PS.2, 2.PS.1, 2.PS.2, 2.PS.3
Let’s Get Coding 101 - Unplugged (STEM)
Students will participate in a series of unplugged activities
designed to build their computational- thinking skills. Activities
will be focused on learning how to break down tasks and create
algorithms to complete those tasks. We will then make the connection
to how programmers use these same skills when it comes to creating
computer code.
Students will also explore our Evolution of Coding area where they
will participate in hands-on programming with Nintendo gaming systems
discovering how the gaming systems and graphics have changed and
evolved throughout the years.
Complements Indiana Computer Science Standards: K-2.DI.2,
K-2.DI.3, K-2.PA.3
Let’s Get Coding 102 - Unplugged (STEM)
Students will participate in a series of unplugged activities to
build their computational-thinking skills. Activities will explore how
programmers and computers communicate using binary code and algo- rithms.
Students will also explore our Evolution of Coding area where they
will participate in hands-on programming with Nintendo gaming systems
discovering how the gaming systems and graphics have changed and
evolved throughout the years.
Complements Indiana Computer Science Standards: K-2.DI.2,
K-2.DI.3, K-2.PA.3
Living Things, the Environment, & Me (EE)
Through this experience, students will explore the local
environment at Camp Dellwood. Students will learn how to identify
living and non-living things and discover what living organisms need
to survive. Finally, we will help students learn how they can take
action to assist in preserving the environment and protect native
flora and fauna.
Complements Indiana Science Standards: SC1.1, SC3.1
K.ESS.4,K.LS.1, K.LS.2, K.LS.3, 1.ESS.4, 1.LS.1, 1.LS.3,1 L.4
Nature’s Numbers (EE/STEM)
Students will explore the natural world around them by using their
ingenuity to compare, classify, and organize materials. Step outside
the classroom and explore the Camp Dellwood property while discov-
ering the prevalence of math in nature.
Complements Indiana Mathematics Standards: PS.M4.2, K.G.3,
K.NS., K.DA.1, K.M.1, 1.G.1, 1.M.1, 1.DA.1, 2.PS.1, 2.LS.2, 2.LS.3
Racers, Start your Engines – Engineering Challenge
(STEM) (available as a reverse field trip)
This workshop allows students to put the engineering design process
to work as they design, build, and test a racecar. We will take a
closer look at how different track surfaces can affect a vehicle’s ki-
netic energy. Students will learn how different forces, like gravity
and friction, can influence design.
Complements Indiana Computer Science Standards: SEPS.4,
2.PS.4, K.PS.3, K.PS.4, K-2.E.1, K-2.E.2
Sensory Awareness (EE)
Throughout this program, students will expand their understanding
of the senses by experiencing the outdoor world at Camp Dellwood and
exploring how animals survive by using their senses. Games,
story-telling, and hands-on activities are designed to increase
awareness of the physical world by us- ing the human senses.
Complements Indiana Early Learning Development Framework and
Science Standards: PHG2.1, SC1.1, SC3.1, K.PS.1 K.LS.2
Tessellation Creation (EE/STEM)
This program combines math and science by allowing students to
immerse themselves in the world of the honeybee. Students will take
part in a series of activities designed to take a closer look at
nature’s tessellations through the lens of the honeybee before
engaging in hands-on design and creation of their own tessellation
hives and artwork.
