As they say, the show must go on!
We’ve had a lot of folks ask if we’ll be continuing our daily activities after this week. The short answer is YES 🙂 We discussed it and thought about different factors such as Maryland kids starting some form of distance learning through their schools/districts, followers from different states, the number of experiments using household items that we can possibly come up with….:) But in the end, we realized that a lot of your kids look forward to these activities each day and parents love how easy, fun and educational the activities and resources are, and we are more than happy to continue to support you and your efforts at home. Thanks to YOU, we have followers and “little scientists” all over the United States doing and relying on these activities daily. And you have also let us know how helpful these are to you and how appreciative you are. That’s all that really matters right now.
One way you can support us is by liking us on Facebook, liking and sharing our FB posts, and sharing our Daily Activities with family and friends. (www.clubscikidzmd.com/blog/). If you live in Maryland, you’re welcome to check out our camps and to watch our video message. **Click the title to go to it**

- 1 or 2 apples (needed for week of 4/6)
- Peeps (can be either chicks or bunnies or a combo– at least 6 Peeps)
This has been wonderful for me and my grandsons. The videos bring laughter to all of us. The e pediments are bringing the science into terms we can all understand. All 3 of us. I can’t thank my friend enough for sending your fb page to me. Thanks again
We are so glad to hear that you are all enjoying the experiments!
These are wonderful…thank you so much for putting them together. This working mom depends on these types of resources to help homeschool kids while I’m trying to work! Thanks for putting it together in such an easy way for us to consume. I cannot thank you enough.
You are very welcome. Let us know if there’s any other help or resources we can direct you to. (Matt & I were both public school teachers for many years, so we are full of resources and tips :))
Thank you so much for this service! My 7 and 4.5 yr old enjoy these while we transition I to distance learning with their schools in mid April. We will still keep visiting you a few times a week then! The first grader was recently gifted a basic micro scope and we are Interested in any home items/experiments we can do that would involve using the microscope. We have grown brine shrimp, sliced up a plant stem to see the tubes that allow for capillary action, checked out yeast, looked at petals, moss… then we draw what we see in ‘observation’ books (scrap paper with drawn circles on them stapled together). Can you suggest some other things to check out under the scope at home? I know you likely won’t do experiment videos for it bc I don’t think everyone has a microscope at home. (But they should because they are fun 😉 )
We would also be interested in actives with water beads as my littlest loves the way they feel 🙂
Thanks for the positive feedback! We are so happy that you enjoy the activities! I will send you an email with sometimes for the microscope.
