Activity Overview: Talk to someone such as your parent or older brother or sister and ask them the Central question. Bring something into class that relates to what the parent and student have discussed. Things that can be brought are perhaps an item that was talk about or a poster with pictures of what was discussed or simple a demonstration of what the student learned while talking to the parent or older sibling.
Debriefing: Each individual student will present what they went home and talked about or their art project or object they brought into class to share with the rest of the students. If the object is able to be used in class and if it's okay for the student to leave in class so other students can use them as well so they don't get sick throughout the school year.
