At-Home Challenge

Math: Find one recipe in your kitchen. If you need some help finding one, look in your family’s recipe

books or on the boxes of food items in your pantry. Unfortunately the recipe isn’t large enough for all of

us so double it to make it a bigger recipe. (Double means to make it twice as big.) Any idea what skill we would use to do this? Take the amount of each food item and make double it.

Rewrite the recipe and share it with us!

Science/STEM: Extreme Ice cubes – For these 2 challenges, you will need two ice cubes, a timer, and a piece of notebook paper.

1) Your first job will be to make one ice cube melt as quickly as possible (without using an oven, hairdryer, etc.). Your second job will be to keep the other ice cube from melting as long as

possible. You might want to create an igloo/house for your ice cube to keep it cold- think STEM project. You will time each challenge to see a) how long it takes you to melt the first ice cube and

b) how long you can keep the second cube from melting completely . 2) Before starting, jot down your prediction. Which challenge will be more difficult and why?

3) Complete each challenge throughout the day. Jot down what you did. What was successful? What wasn’t? Let us know your findings.

4) Why will this experiment look different for each of us? Share your thoughts!

Math: Elapsed time challenge!First thing this morning, pick something that you do

frequently throughout the day. Do you watch a lot of TV? Play video games? Play outside a lot? Each time you start to do the activity of your choice, record your start time. When you finish the

activity, record your end time. At the end of the day, add up all of the time you spent on that activity throughout the day. Did you spend

more or less time than you thought you would?

Science/STEM: Will it float or sink?1) Gather the following items around your house: Penny, pencil/pen, cotton ball, crayon

or marker, rubber band, toy car, marshmallow, egg, close pin, paper clip – Don’t stress if you don’t have all of these items! Just grab as many as you can!

2) Make a prediction. Will the items you have collected float or sink? Grab a piece of paper and make a prediction for each item.

3) Fill your bathtub or kitchen sink with water. (Ask your parents before doing this so you don’t get in trouble.)

4) Test out each item. Will it sink or float?5) What predictions did you make that were correct? Incorrect?
