Looking for activities for your students to do from home? Have your K-8th grade students join CLEAN on October 21st at 1pm for a virtual live lesson about melting ice, and its relation to climate. Students will get to experiment with ice during this fun, hands-on lesson, which only requires ice, salt & pepper, as well as dark and light-colored plates if students have them! (Clear cups, a ruler, thermometer, and stopwatch are also useful but not necessary).
