Big Bubble Blowout
The surface of a bubble appears to have many colors that looks like they are swirling around. This is called iridescence. This is caused by the light reflecting from inside the bubble combining with the light reflecting from the outside of the bubble. The colors change as the thickness of the bubble changes. Make your own bubble solution in the activity below!

Pedaling Through Time
Have you ever ridden a bicycle? Once you know how, it is easy and fun. But bicycles didn’t start out that way. The first bike was made of wood with steel wheels, and it had no pedals. To operate it you had to run. It weighed 48 pounds! That may be heavier than you are! Inventors built on one another’s ideas to continue to improve the bicycle. Today, more than 15 MILLION bikes are sold each year. Take a close look at old and new bikes, and then discover the amazing history of bicycles through a timeline challenge. Share your own ideas about how you would improve the bicycle.

It’s Symolic
How much do you know about Indiana symbols? Symbols are things that remind us of other things. For instance, the Indiana state bird is a cardinal. The cardinal reminds us that the pretty red bird lives in many places in Indiana all year long. Here’s an activity to help you learn and remember some other symbols that make our state special.

Name Game
Names can be very interesting. Some last names tell us where our ancestors came from. For instance, the last name Kent tells us that a person’s ancestors probably came from England, since Kent is a place in England. Some last names can tell us what our ancestors did for a living, like the name Cooper. Did you know that a cooper is a barrel builder? A person whose last name is Cooper probably had a long-ago relative who built barrels for a living. In this activity, kids are encouraged to do some investigating into where their name(s) come from and what they mean.
