For Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, howtosmile.org has it all—and it’s all science!
Make your own or help learners make their own gifts this year, like Chocolate Lava (that teaches about “pillow lava” formations) or tissue paper Flowers (that demonstrate adaptations for pollination). Design a shiny, colorful Glitter Globe (that simulates molecules, atoms and subatomic particles) or a Bell Bracelet (that lets learners discover rhythms and sounds). Then wrap your gift in a Greeting Card Box (while learning about area and volume).
And we weren’t kidding about breakfast in bed. Scramble some eggs (then test the Egg-stra Strength of egg shells). Serve them with a trayful of Dancing Cereal (that demonstrates static electricity) accompanied by a Fruit Xylophone (that explores conductivity and resistance). Need more ideas? You’ll find more than 200 science/arts and crafts activities in the howtosmile.org collection.
