Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Parent help will be needed for play dough - boiling water, and possibly other days in which scissors can be used (Marble run, bubble blower, egg drop device, straw tower, straw plane, and balloon-powered car)

It is possible to do all of these activities without scissors or boiling water, but I provide the option on these days so students have more creative freedom with the supplies.
