For this spring 2020 semester, Wesleyan Science Outreach had to cancel our lessons in the after school clubs at local elementary schools, so are investing our effort for the last half of the semester in creating some lesson plans that can be used in the home school setting that many children are learning in this spring. Here are the lessons we created.
