I pledge My head to clearer thinking, My heart to greater loyalty, My hands to larger service, and My health to better living for my club, my community, my country, and my world.

Mask Chromatography 1. Wash and dry a cotton mask. 2. Draw a design on the mask using permanent marker. 3. Use a spray bottle, eye dropper, or syringe to add isopropyl alcohol (71% or higher) to the design. a. Permanent markers are soluble in alcohol. b. Different dyes use different sizes of particles. Smaller particles can move more quickly than larger ones. 4. Once the mask has dried, heat-set it by ironing on the highest setting or throwing it into the dryer for 15 minutes on the highest heat.
Sort for Six Provide youth with a variety of images. They should sort the images based on whether the image shows something that is 6 feet or not. Some examples of things that represent 6 feet include A door A cow A mattress (length) A large car (width) A 3-person sofa Two large dogs in a line Two grocery carts
Share the Information Youth can make posters or public service announcements to help their local community understand and implement public safety measures related to reducing the spread of COVID-19.
What is Meant by Exponential Spread? In Town A, 10 new cases of Cloveritis are reported each day. In Town B, the number of Cloveritis cases doubles each day. Make a graph showing the number of cases in each town over the next week if they both start at 1 case today.
