April 22 is Earth day. It is a day/week that celebrates the Earth and think of how we can help the Earth. I posted 2 quick videos and 2 stem activities you could do to celebrate.

Don’t forget to send me a picture of the stem activity you made. Wish we could be together to celebrate Earth day. Missing all of you.

Read the story the Corona virus and me. Then do the butterfly activity. https://flipgrid.com/stemstorytime

Have fun and you can always go back and do other stories and activities. Don’t forget. I would love to see pictures of what you are doing.

You can email them to me at burekj1@dearbornschools.org.

Missing all of you!

I wish we were able to do these activities together.

Watch the video. I know you may not have the materials to do the activities but remember even if you don’t do the activity yourself, go past the activity. They will show you what happened when they did it and usually there is a final part to the videos.

You can see an animal in your house if you Google search an animal name (on iPhone or android) and then press ‘View in 3D’. It opens your camera and soon will show you the animal moving in your room. You can walk around it and take a picture of it with people. Look for :
Lion
Tiger
Cheetah
Shark
Hedgehog
Duck
Emperor penguin
Wolf
Angler fish
Goat
Rottweiler
Snakes
Eagle
Brown bear
Alligator
Horse
Shetland pony
Macaw

These are all Mystery Science lessons. It is wonderful if you can do the activity but if you can’t, go through the directions until you get towards the end. There is always a section showing what happens and usually a wrap up section there.
