Experiment Activity Book
The Buzzword partners designed an activity book to inspire your family to keep learning together. We chose activities that build on your child’s natural curiosity, encouraging a growing vocabulary and a deeper engagement with books.
So, who’s ready to unbox the BUZZ!? First, read through Charlotte the Scientist Finds a Cure, written by Camille Andros with your child. Then, go through the different activities, EXPERIMENTs, and ideas together, taking time to explain the meaning of the words and connecting them to your child’s real-life experiences.

EXPERIMENT With Making Music!
All music comes from one little idea and we EXPERIMENT with different versions before we come up with something amazing! Songs start out with one note, and before you know it, we’ve written a whole opera with parts for the singers and the orchestra!
In this activity from our friends at Pittsburgh Festival Opera, you are going to EXPERIMENT with different words to make our very own song!
Materials: flashcards with pictures, dry erase board, dry erase markers
Step 1: Pick out three to five cards randomly from the deck of flashcards. Set aside.
Step 2: Write out your words on the dry erase board.
Step 3: EXPERIMENT with writing the words in a different order until you find one you love!
Step 4: Once you are happy with the order of your words try to use them in a song. You can use a melody you already know ( “Mary Had a Little Lamb,” “Wheels on the Bus,” etc.) or make your own!
