Have you ever enjoyed watching something lift off into the air, like fireworks at a show or a spacecraft launching? It can be an amazing experience. It is thrilling to see something lift off against Earth's gravity. To launch a spacecraft, its rockets give it a strong push that is due to a chemical reaction. This means that every time you see a spacecraft launch, you are watching chemistry at work. In this activity you will get to blast an object into the air using two simple ingredients -- baking soad and vinegar. Investigate how to mix these ingredients to get the best lift off, and then you could give your friends and family a homemade, gravity-defying show!

We first created the Be Internet Awesome curriculum for educators. Teaching digital safety and citizenship is a crucial component of today’s classroom, but home will always be the foundation of any child’s learning, and healthy online habits are no different.
Technology moves fast, and staying ahead of the curve can be a challenge in itself. We’ve created this guide for families to make it easier to incorporate and practice good digital habits in your everyday lives. Packed with good stuff, this guide will help you and your kids discuss, learn, and think together about the five areas of Internet awesomeness:
-Smart, Share with Care
-Alert, Don’t Fall for Fake
-Strong, Secure Your Secrets
-Kind, It?s Cool to Be Kind
-Brave, When in Doubt, Talk It Out
Each of these areas is a key component of the Be Internet Awesome program used in more and more schools across the country and world. If your kids are learning with Be Internet Awesome at school, this guide will help you follow along and reinforce what they’re learning in the classroom.
Cuando primero creamos el programa Sé genial en Internet, lo diseñamos para
los educadores. Sé genial en Internet es un programa multifacético diseñado para
enseñarles a los niños las habilidades que necesitan para preservar su seguridad y
actuar con inteligencia en línea. Este tema es importante para enseñar en la clase
pero también en el hogar. El hogar siempre será la base del aprendizaje de los
niños, y los hábitos saludables en línea no son la excepción.
Sin embargo, la tecnología se mueve a gran velocidad y adelantarse a los
acontecimientos puede ser todo un desafío. Hemos creado esta guía para que
las familias puedan incorporar y practicar buenos hábitos digitales con mayor
facilidad en sus vidas. Esta guía te ayudará a ti y a tus hijos a evaluar, analizar y
aprender juntos las cinco lecciones fundamentales de la genialidad en Internet:
Inteligente, Comparte con cuidado
Alerta, No caigas en trampas
Seguro, Protege tus secretos
Amable, Ser amable es genial
Valiente, Si tienes dudas, pregunta
Cada una de estas áreas es un componente clave del programa Sé genial en
Internet, que se utiliza cada vez en más escuelas. Si tus hijos están aprendiendo
con este programa en la escuela, esta guía te ayudará a seguir el ritmo y reforzar
lo que aprenden en el clase.
