Science Learning Resources for Students and Families

Invite students and their families to explore our amazing world by interacting with the following resources:

• 30 Day Science Challenge: Summer Edition (printable) - 30 opportunities to find, observe, or investigate phenomena all around us.

• Camp Wonderopolis - Camp Wonderopolis® is the free online summer-learning destination that's full of fun, interactive STEM and literacy-building topics boosted by Maker experiments!

• Start With A Book: Summer Science - Reading and writing happens across the curriculum, including the sciences. This summer, strengthen children's literacy, inquiry, and problem-solving skills — and connect kids with high-quality nonfiction and informational books.

• Scholastic: Fun in the Sun Activities - Take learning on the road or make discoveries right in your backyard. These ideas will help your child explore, learn, and play all summer long.

• National Science Teaching Association (NSTA): Daily Dos - Daily Dos are sensemaking tasks teachers and parents can use to engage their students in authentic, relevant science learning. Be sure to check out the “Elementary” and “For Families” tabs!

• PBS: Let’s Build - Help students develop STEM skills at home.

• PBS: Observing Nature - Nature play, or time spent in nature, has many benefits. Time spent outdoors gets children moving, promotes creativity and curiosity, increases confidence, and gives them time to think and explore their world outside. In “Elinor Wonders Why,” Elinor and her friends have fun observing nature by engaging with plants, animals, and nature, and asking simple but probing questions to figure out why and how things work
