Lunchbox Dad Creates Amazing Pop Culture-Themed Lunches for His Two Kids Every Week Justin Page, laughingsquid.com
San Francisco-based father and blogger Beau Coffron (a.k.a. “Lunchbox Dad“) creates amazing, and also healthy, pop culture-themed lunches for his son and daughter every week. You can view more of his custom lunchbox creations, which all come with…
Fun lunchbox inspirations. Healthy never looked so good! #lunchbox #parents

A Negative Space Exercise [email protected] (Kathy Barbro), artprojectsforkids.org
I wanted to mix things up for my students this week, so I had them focus on the background of their art, or the negative space, instead of the positive. In honor of Sponge Bob, I declared it “Opposite Day”. 1. Students lightly traced a…
Great PLAY @ Home activity! Easy to do with found objects at home allowing children to explore their creativity through negative space. Have fun experimenting with colors and patterns! Show us your creations by tagging the pictures with #CMTucson.
Children's Museum Tucson would like to share a little HAPPINESS & PLAY with you!

3-D Imaging
Seeing in 3D
Three dimensional (3D) images are made of two photos of the same scene taken from a slightly different angle. The 3D images in this activity were made by coloring one view blue and one view red, and then printing the two photos on top of each other. When you wear the red/blue 3D glasses, the colored filters restrict your vision. One eye sees only the red photo and the other sees only the blue photo. Your brain merges these two separate images together into a single image with depth.

4 Tips for engaging kids with S.T.E.M.
Children tend to be curious and love to ask questions. It's the investigator in them. They are able to explore the world around them and make good connections. While some like to observe and sketch out ideas others may build models and break them down in order to learn how they work. Both ways of learning allow children to experiment and try new things. They are learning naturally. These are the naturally qualities needed when exploring the elements of S.T.E.M.
4 Tips for engaging kids with S.T.E.M.
Start a conversation with your child about the ways that S.T.E.M. impacts their daily lives now and how it can be incorporated into their lives as a career option.
Teach your child about S.T.E.M. Many of us are not experts in the field, but we can easily find community resources or events that will not only teach our children but we might learn a thing or two as well. Local Children's Museums, Science Centers and Universities are great sources that tend to have S.T.E.M related exhibits and activities.
Encourage your child to ask questions and help him or her to research the answers. It might be an hour on the computer, in the library or even testing an idea at home.
Make S.T.E.M. happen at home! Pinterest is a great site to find activities that are easy but fun.
Did you know?
The Children’s Museum Tucson offers children the ability to learn the fundamentals of STEM by playing and exploring with the hands-on exhibits in Investigation Station and by participating in our weekly Roll-Out-Science programming. Roll Out Science is an exclusive program created by Children’s Museum Tucson that creates an opportunity for children to form a hypothesis and experiment in order to come up with a scientific conclusion based on what they have investigated. Throughout February, Museum staff will also be showcasing new Nano Science activities. These are courtesy of the NISE Network, a national community of researchers and informal science educators dedicated to fostering public awareness, engagement and understanding of nanoscale science, engineering and technology.
Visit the Museum this month as we continue our month long celebration of S.T.E.M.! Click here to see what activities we have going on.

Miss CoCo & Love of Reading Week!
Today was a special day for our very own Miss CoCo! She was invited to be a guest reader at Lynn-Urquides Elementary School in celebration of Love of Reading Week.
Miss CoCo read four books today, including her current favorite The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt.
Did you know that the Museum offers a literacy based program for children 4 and under? Join Miss CoCo for WEE PLAY!
Standing Sound Wave Tube
This exhibit component in Investigation Station at Children's Museum Tucson allows visitors to discover the three-dimensional nature of sound. As visitors scroll through different frequencies using a dial, a tone generator creates standing sound waves in a clear acrylic tube filled with Styrofoam™ pellets. The tube is approximately 36” long and 5” in diameter, allowing the standing sound waves to form in a clearly visible way. By experimenting with a range of tones, visitors discover that different sounds have unique wavelengths and shapes.
Sound Facts
Sound comes from vibrations. These vibrations create sound waves which move through mediums such as air and water before reaching our ears.
Our ears vibrate in a similar way to the original source of the vibration, allowing us to hear many different sounds.
Dogs can hear sound at a higher frequency than humans, allowing them to hear noises that we can’t.
Sound is used by many animals to detect danger, warning them of possible attacks before they happen.
Sound can’t travel through a vacuum (an area empty of matter).
The speed of sound is around 767 miles per hour (1,230 kilometres per hour).
The loud noise you create by cracking a whip occurs because the tip is moving so fast it breaks the speed of sound!
When traveling through water, sound moves around four times faster than when it travels through air.
The scientific study of sound waves is known as acoustics.
Although music can be hard to define, it is often described as a pleasing or meaningful arrangement of sounds.
The sound of thunder is produced by rapidly heated air surrounding lightning which expands faster than the speed of sound.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE INANIMATE OBJECT?
My favorite inanimate object would have to be my art pen(s). What are you favorites CMT fans?
How would you feel if your works of art risked getting trashed by mobs of kids? It's all in a day's work for this team.
Special thank you to Gillian at #story magazine for this great piece on the Museum!
Discover science fun with Family SCIFest at the Children’s Museum Tucson
