Yahoo · last updated

MIDLAND, Texas (KMID/KPEJ)- Steam Break is a spring break camp for first graders through sixth graders to have fun and learn without any pressure.

Throughout the week, the kids will learn to conduct various experiments.

“So this morning our camp is called Evolution Expedition, and so they’re learning all about animal adaptations and what makes animals able to survive the different conditions they are in,” Nikki McCurry, Director of Education. “Then this afternoon we have MythBusters Jr., and so they’re gonna be testing out some popular experiments that they may have seen on the internet to see if they actually do work or not.”

The Petroleum Museum has monthly robotics classes running now through May. The first Tuesday of the Month is Kindergarten through second grade, and the third Tuesday of the month is third grade through eighth.

Check out the Petroleum Museum to learn how your kids can get involved.
