Welcome to the Westwood Charter

By Erina Vlashi: With the help of friends from Westwood Charter we explain how viruses work, why are they dangerous to human cells and what we can do to stop viruses from getting us sick.

By Cory & Yasmine Hogaboam Learn about blood subtypes and how is important to know our blood subtypes.

By Christian Henry: Removing oxidation from pennies. Materials used: - Dirty pennies - Lemon juice - Glass

By Ryan Dobson Join us in turning an old t-shirt into a reusable tote bag! Plus we'll learn about the impact the fast fashion industry has on the environment and a better way to create products called "Circular Design!" ~*Watch the next video titled "The Life Cicle of a T-Shirt" and then continue to Part 2 *~ Materials needed: - An old t-shirt - Scissors - A ruler - A marker

Trace the life cycle of a classic white t-shirt to find out how they’re made and what is their ultimate environmental impact. -- Consider the classic white t-shirt. Annually, we sell and buy 2 billion t-shirts globally, making it one of the most common garments in the world. But how and where is the average t-shirt made, and what’s its environmental impact? Angel Chang traces the life cycle of a t-shirt. Lesson by Angel Chang, directed by TED-Ed.

By Farzad & Benjamin Rabbany: We're mixing some ingredients for a colorful explosion. Ingredients used: - Baking soda - Vinegar - Foot coloring

By Erina Vlashi & Dylan Thana: In this experiment, we will explore how molecules interact with each other. Through the burst of colors in a plate of milk we will observe how fat molecules in the milk are broken apart by soap and their movement all around the plate of milk is visualized by the food coloring we have added to the milk. It's beautiful science! Materials used: - Whole milk - Liquid soap - Food colors - Q-tips - Plate

By William Papac & Dad: We are studying immiscible fluids, chemistry, and solubility. Materials used: - 3 drink glasses - Cooking oil - Water - Food coloring - Denture cleanser tablets or Alka Seltzer

By Ryan Shafa: How to make baking soda and vinegar into a volcano. Materials used: - Baking soda - Vinegar - Enthusiasm

By Tambry Chapnick: An easy way to see an explosive chemical reaction at home! Materials used: - Baking Soda - Vinegar - Ziploc bag - Paper cup - Scissors - 2 Spoons

By Damian Corona: Chemistry is fun!

By Julia F: In this fun experiment, you will learn about surface tension while creating colorful milk fireworks! Materials used: - Milk - Food coloring - Dish soap - Q-tip - Dish

By Hazel & Mary Susselman: Learn about the brain, MRI and neurons. Materials used: - Pipe cleaners - Beads

By Jacob Jones: Making a tin hedgehog by mixing some ingredients.

By Veronica, Aurelia & Sienna Lindop: Shaving foam acts as a matrix to hold the food coloring and transfer it to your paper, rather than absorbing it. That allows you to scrape off the shaving foam and leave the food coloring pattern behind on the paper. Materials used: - Shaving foam - Food coloring - Paper - Tray or dish - Stick or similar object for stirring - Cardboard / plastic scraper

By Eli Van Cleve: A video of various things under the microscope such as yeast, spit, and blood.

By: Beth and Merrick Cheung Have you ever wondered what makes something balance? In this video we'll explain the physics of balance introducing a concept called the center of gravity. You can follow along with an activity in which you build a balancing structure. Materials needed: -Wood skewers, , and a tall-ish bottle like a water bottle. -A small carrot or pretty hard clay -Things that can be attached to the ends of the skewers - soft things like gummy bears, marshmallows, clay -A tall-ish bottle to use as the stand, such a filled water bottle

By Steven Brogden: Learn about levers, the simple machine. Materials needed: - Whatever is available. Be creative!

By Ryan Dobson: Join us for some fun experiments about static electricity plus a demonstration with a Van De Graaf Machine! Materials used: - A balloon - PVC pipe - Wool cloth or sweater

By Lily Ning: Ready! Set! Build! See how you can be an Engineer at home and design, build, and test your LEGO Racer! Materials for LEGO Racers: - LEGO wheels - Tires - Axles - Bricks of different sizes and shapes Materials for Test Ramp: - Books - Manila folder - Tape Optional Materials: Paper and pencil (sketch racer design) - Stopwatch (timing) - Ruler (measure distance)

By Dylan Thana: Water from the top bottle will transfer faster to the bottom bottle when swirled (rather than bubbling through) to create a tornado ... in a bottle! Materials used: - 2 empty plastic bottles - Water - Bottle connectors (or duct tape) - Food coloring (optional)
