Ulysses and I have shared with you all three of our favorite projects for summer! Just in case you missed them, here they are:

• How to Grow Herbs from Cuttings
• The Edible Cell Calzone
• How to Grow a Butterfly

But the summer science fun doesn't need to stop there! We have combed the internet looking for super fun science activities that you can do with your kids this summer.

The result is akin to a buffet full of fine cheese, crusty bread, and delicious salami, sopresse, and sopressate - you can't help but dig in!
