Kids’ activity: How can you make popcorn kernels dance?
Popcorn: Just seeing the words “fresh buttered popcorn” can make you smell it. You might imagine the warmth from the stove as the kernels pop, the roasted corn aroma with a tiny tinge of burn from the final few unpopped kernels you couldn’t bear to give up on. Toss with melted butter and pair with a couch and a movie and you’re officially “snug” You can take your fresh-sprung kernels to the next level by adding a little truffle oil, a variety of sea salt or spices such as paprika and lemon pepper. And, of course, you should always allocate a batch for caramel corn. For a twist that delivers a sweet/salty fix add lightly crushed (and salted) popcorn as a killer addition to basic chocolate chip cookie dough. Just stir it in with the chips.

Kids’ activity: How do scuba divers sink?
In this photo provided by Clean Up The Lake, CUTL diver Colin West shows debris found in the lake from an initial dive in 2020, at Lake Tahoe, Nev. They found no trace of a mythical sea monster, no sign of mobsters in concrete shoes or long-lost treasure chests. But scuba divers who spent the past year cleaning up Lake Tahoe's entire 72-mile (115-kilometer) shoreline have come away with what they hope will prove much more valuable: tons and tons of trash.
