The future belongs to those who learn more skills and combine them in creative ways.
MATHS
Number Patterns & Sequences 🔢🔍
Sharpen your mathematical minds and discover the hidden patterns!
Today's Challenge:
Identify the pattern and find the next three numbers in each sequence:
2, 4, 6, 8, ...
1, 4, 9, 16, ...
3, 6, 9, 12, ...
10, 7, 4, 1, ...
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ...
Bonus Challenges:
Create your own number sequence and challenge a friend or family member to find the pattern.
Research famous mathematical sequences like the Fibonacci sequence or the prime numbers.
Explore how patterns and sequences are used in nature, art, and music.

SCIENCE
States of Matter Experiments! 🧪🧊💧💨
Let's investigate the fascinating transformations of matter!
Experiment 1: Melting Ice
Observe an ice cube melting. What state of matter is it changing from and to?
Speed it up! Try melting the ice cube with your hands, in a warm room, or under a lamp. Which method is fastest?
Discuss: What is happening to the water molecules as the ice melts?
Experiment 2: Water Cycle in a Bag
Draw a simple water cycle diagram on a ziplock bag.
Add a small amount of water and seal the bag tightly.
Tape the bag to a sunny window and observe over a few hours.
Discuss: Can you identify the different stages of the water cycle in your bag (evaporation, condensation, precipitation)?
Experiment 3: Blowing Bubbles
Mix some dish soap with water to create bubble solution.
Use a straw or bubble wand to blow bubbles. Observe their shape and how they float in the air.
Discuss: What state of matter are bubbles made of? Why do they eventually pop?
Bonus Challenges:
Research other states of matter, like plasma or Bose-Einstein condensate.
Conduct experiments to demonstrate other changes of state, like freezing or boiling.
Create a presentation or video explaining the states of matter and their transformations.
