Aspiring wizards gathered this week at Lake Erie Nature & Science Center to mix up potions, divine the future and witness some magic during the Science of Wizardry Camp. While the camp took its inspiration from the fictional Harry Potter, the teaching was firmly rooted in science, as Education Director Darci Sanders told WTAM-Radio in an interview this week. Our class in "Potions" taught chemistry, with a little goop thrown in for fun! "Divination" explored the stars in our world-class planetarium while "Care of Magical Creatures" featured a lesson in zoology using the Center’s live animal collection. Finally, "Herbology" focused on plant sciences with hikes in the mysterious and beautiful natural setting surrounding our “wizardry school.” Campers "graduate" just in time for the big book release this weekend!
