Exploring Science From Home

Even though we are not in school there are some things you can do to continue your learning. The district has a site set up called "Learning at Home:Good at Learning - Good at Life that has a lot of resources.

Let's Talk Science is a great source of resources. The STEM at Home page offers hands-on activities, videos and articles. There are student contests, on Wednesday Wonder a different STEM or digital literacy question will be offered and every Thursday a Design Challenge is issued.

It is also important to keep yourselves healthy and well. Check out Chris Hadfield's video below called "An Astronaut's Guide to Self-Isolation". Based on his experience living in space he gives some great advice on how to take care of your spaceship! The school district also has a variety of online resources available to families through its website including Health and Wellness resources and Mental Health resources.

Many places have Nature webcams that offer a look into the Science behind animal behaviour and just laugh out loud funny animal behaviour. Some interesting ones are The California Academy of Science Penguin Cam, Seattle Aquarium Sea Otter Cam and the Zoo Atlantic Panda Cam. If looking for something that is calming and still connected to Science check out the Monterey Bay Aquarium Jelly Cam. For many more check out explore.org
