Science and Stories

During Science and Stories young scientists are introduced to a science bag with a mystery object inside. Elizabeth talks about working like a scientist and using all of our senses to investigate, make predictions, ask science questions and research to find out more. Next she reads a story and offers a simple art and or science activity that can be done at home.

Engineer It! at home

You can try these engineering design challenges with materials you might already have! The goal is to get you thinking like an engineer with problem-solving and having some hands-on, learning fun. Each challenge has a list of suggested materials, background science concepts, and some options to extend the challenge. We also walk you through the steps of the Engineering Design Process (define the problem, plan a solution, create a prototype, test your design, and improve your creation) with guiding questions to help along the way.
