Activity #1: Everyone knows recycling is important for our future but not everyone recycles. Instead of throwing away an item made of plastic, cardboard, or paper, create a new household item for a family member.
Activity #2: Groceries are flying off the shelves. Sometimes it is difficult to find ingredients to complete a favorite dish. Families are creating new recipes with items that are available in their pantries. Create a new recipe that you can share with your family.
Activity #3-Out of milk? I limit the time I visit the grocery store. I've tried new recipes and substituted ingredients. Milk seems to run out quickly in my household. Being lactose intolerant, I am extremely selective with the type of milk I drink. I've read several recipes on Pinterest and made modifications to my taste. Do not make recipe if you are allergic to nuts.

Paper airplanes seem like they are simple to create. However, they require careful planning, which requires measuring and proper folding techniques.

Activity #6-Interdependence of Living Things
