Kids & Family
Make a Nebular Jar at Home

With the weather warming up, now is a great time to get out and look at the stars. A nebula is an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen, helium and other ionized gases. Open up a discussion with your kids about nebulas and how they may form in outer space with an out-of-this world craft! Simply layer cotton balls, water, tempera paint and glitter until you reach the top of the jar and you create a craft that mimics the wonder of an actual nebula in space!
Early Childhood
Perfect 10! 

In this math game, when you make the cards in the pile add up to 10, you get to take them. But be careful! If you make the cards add up to more than 10, somebody else gets the cards. Whoever ends up with the most cards is the winner. 
Elementary
Celebrating May Day

What do you want to teach your students about May Day? When did May Day start? Who was responsible for starting May Day traditions? What is a maypole? PBS LearningMedia has a collection of teacher resources for you.
