Edventures Da Vinci Camp Program
Students travel back in time and learn about science history as they collaborate to complete creative Leonardo Da Vinci projects.
Over the course of this STEAM program, students learn how far we've come in science while developing a sense of curiosity about the world around them like Da Vinci. With a variety of projects, such as learning about the Vitruvian Man and anatomically correct proportions, students learn engineering design skills, social studies, math, language, and more.
Standards-aligned curriculum helps students develop well-rounded skills as they complete cross-subject projects. 12 one-hour projects are perfect for summer camps, classrooms, homeschools, or afterschool program. Accommodates 30 students. Recommended for Upper Elementary and up.
Standards: Aligns with NGSS, CCSS-Math, CCSS-ELA, NCAS.

Next Generation Science Standards*:
- 3-5-ETS1-1: Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.
- 3-5-ETS1-2: Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
- 3-5-ETS1-3: Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.
- 4-LS1-1: Construct an argument that animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.
- MS-ETS1-3: Analyze data from tests to determine similarities and differences among several design solutions to identify the best characteristics of each that can be combined into a new solution to better meet the criteria for success.
- MS-LS1-5: Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for how environmental and genetic factors influence the growth of organisms.

Common Core Math Standards*:
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.G.A.1: Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures.
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.G.A.3: Recognize a line of symmetry for a two-dimensional figure as a line across the figure such that the figure can be folded along the line into matching parts. Identify line-symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry.
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.MD.A.2: Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale.
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.G.B.3: Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles.
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.RP.A.1: Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities.
