1. Code.org
Many 4th and 5th graders were involved in Coding Club this past year. We were using code.org for this enrichment club, which is free to use and is designed for all ages!
Here are some simple prompts to get your creative juices flowing!
3. Science Experiments at Home
Check out these simple but fun science experiments that you can use with household supplies. Make rock candy, use lemon juice to make invisible ink (and then write some secret messages for someone), force an egg to fit into a bottle, and more!
Here is a behind-the-scenes look at how Pixar artists do their jobs and create the movies we know and love! You'll also get a chance to try out your own creative ideas. This is a neat collaboration between Pixar Animation Studies and Khan Academy. Super fun!
5. Scratch
Introduction to computer coding and developed by MIT; create stories, games and animations.
Some activities take an hour, some might take a couple of days! These projects contain videos and information to help guide students through a given project.
These downloadable cards are designed by engineers to get young minds excited about engineering.
