With the potential for students to be learning virtually or just spending more time at home, there is a need for parents to be able to find high quality and engaging science resources to stimulate and encourage learning at home. Here, we walk through an example of engaging children with phenomena and science at home.

Read MoreVirtual Sci Ed - How Can Structure And Function Help Us Make Sense?
The beekeeper forgot to put the frame in his hive, so the bees just freestyled, building a structure that would best handle temperature and ventilation. As students think about bees, they start to wonder about the connection between the structure and function of a hive and identify what we need to learn more about to start making sense of the complex work of bees.
Read MoreVirtual Sci Ed - Using An Everyday Phenomenon To Develop New Investigations
Children love talking and reading science with people in their community. - they are excited by the world around them. This activity is scaffolded to support students as they describe their thinking about an everyday phenomenon (ice melting) and prepare to share their ideas about investigating different materials with others.
