SPRING INTO SCIENCE AT ANNUAL SPRING BREAK CAMP            

South Florida Science Center and Aquarium’s spring break camp takes small-scientists on an adventure

Kate Deviney WPB 10 years old

(West Palm Beach, Fla.)  Calling all science-savvy students… this spring break, the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium welcomes you to a science crash course!  The Center’s annual Spring Science and Tech Adventure begins on Monday, March 16, and the week-long camp promises to turn mini-Einsteins into chemists, engineers, marine biologists and astronomers – all in just a few days!

 

“The Science Center is always buzzing during spring break,” said Lew Crampton, Science Center CEO.  “We certainly have something for everyone with workshops including a variety of experiments and crafts to keep campers engaged and entertained for the entire week.  It is never too early to ‘open every mind to science’ and we see this opportunity as a way to reach children at a young age with educational, but most importantly, fun activities!”

 

The South Florida Science Center and Aquarium, recently named the Chamber of Commerce of the Palm Beaches’ nonprofit of the year, features more than 50 hands-on educational exhibits, an 8,000 gallon fresh and salt water aquarium- featuring both local and exotic marine life, a digital planetarium, conservation research station, Florida exhibit hall and an interactive Everglades exhibit.  Afterlife: Tombs & Treasures of Ancient Egypt, the Science Center’s newest traveling exhibit, features more than 200 ancient and authentic artifacts.  All exhibits are on display during Afterlife’s special showing.  In true Science Center style, the highly anticipated blockbuster exhibition has interactive components, making it feel like guests have taken a trip to Egypt to explore ancient artifacts and tombs.

 

Camp is open to children ages 4 – 14, and includes two different options for children ages 8 – 14. In “Science Crash Course” campers ages 4 – 12 can get their hands dirty during a botany demonstration; solve archaeological mysteries by exploring an ancient Egyptian tomb; or tryout being an astronaut while learning about zero gravity.  In the “Total Tech” session, campers ages 8 – 14 will tinker, solder and engineer and even have the opportunity to create their own video game! Activities include building mechanical parts, experimenting with electronics and soldering circuits.

 

In addition, the Science Center is also hosting a special one day science camp on Monday, March 23. From 9 a.m. – 4 p.m., science seekers can use the latest 4D anatomy technology to explore human biological systems. Activities include dissecting a sheep’s brain with using a video microscope and drawing your own cell with a 3D Scribbler Pen. Cost is $40 for members and $45 for non-members.

 

Spring Science and Tech Adventure runs from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. daily, with extended hours of exploration available from 7:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. for an additional daily fee.  Campers can enjoy a full week for $235 for non-members or $210 for Science Center members.  For questions or additional information, please call (561) 832-2026 or email programs@sfsciencecenter.org

March, 2015 – An Interview with My Daughter (Part One)

Ask the DocsRandyL3

An Interview with My Daughter – Part One

By Dr. Randy Laurich of The Wellness Experience

I wanted to know what questions children had about chiropractic care, so I decided to ask my daughter.  “Sophia, what questions do you think kids would want to know?” She said the big question would be does it hurt to get adjusted.  She answered by saying “no” because you do very gentle adjustments with the machine (ProAdjuster) – “it always feels good.” She did say sometimes it hurts when you are sore from a stiff neck.  She said,” Daddy, I think they would want to know why you adjust kids.”  I asked her to answer and she said, “You help kids to function better.  You help their brain to send a more clear message to the rest of the body.”

So how does that happen?  We use several techniques to find which bones are out of position and then we gently move the bone to its proper position.  When this happens, the nerves work better.

My daughter then said that children would like to know how many bones are in the spine. I said, “Vertebrae and there are 24 movable ones.”

“Dad, kids might want to know about scoliosis and if you can help them with that,” she said.  Scoliosis if detected early enough can be corrected.   There are special chiropractic adjustments and exercises kids can do in order to help the process along.  Chiropractors are able to take x-rays and evaluate the curve of the spine and determine the best steps to make a correction. Please stay tuned for some more questions, this time from my son.

March, 2015 – Breaking Down the Green Value

Living GreenJathyGarcia3

Breaking Down the Green Value

By Jathy Garcia
We are trained to think that if a product has a “green” label, it is better for us, whether it is healthier, more efficient or environmentally-friendly. Any of these mentions are great reasons to consider “green.” However, when shopping with good intentions, the process can be very overwhelming, both finding what is relevant and determining which notables have the most value.

​If you are shopping for a hot water heater, there are many things to consider, such as gas or electric, traditional or tankless, or how many gallons is sufficient for our use. These are all great and relevant considerations. However, the big question is, how do you interpret all of these answers?

Let’s break down how to interpret the deciphering information.  A water heater’s overall efficiency is measured by comparing the amount of energy that is coming into the heater to the amount of energy that it is putting out.  An EF rating generally ranges from low (ie. 0.5) to high (ie. 2.0).  The higher the number, the more efficient it is. Be sure that the gallon capacity is appropriate for the number of people that live in your home, which is normally clearly labeled. And finally, be sure to check your available space. Water heaters come in various sizes – lowboy, medium & tall are the most common. They may also slightly vary in width & height by manufacturer. You surely don’t want to purchase a unit that will not fit into your existing space, so take proper measurements & take in consideration some extra work space is needed to accommodate the heater & solder pipes effectively.

If you want an honest, informative, up-front opinion, you can always call Your Plumber in a Skirt at 561-790-6966.

Hi-Tech Plumbing is considered the expert in green plumbing solutions & emergency service. They are a licensed and insured plumbing service that has been serving residential and commercial customers throughout Palm Beach County since 2000. They understand the needs of their customers and because of that, offer same day service, 24/7 emergency service with up front pricing and they guarantee your satisfaction.
