For the homemade snow experiment, students only need 1/4 cup of baking soda, and about 4 tablespoons of white conditioner.

With the sensitive topic of Santa Claus, I have taken care not to infringe on anyone's beliefs. Santa will not directly appear on screen so as to not infringe on anyone's concept of what he looks like. He will appear in silhouette on video, and I will show a screenshot of his beard and hand when I attempt to call him over Zoom and by phone, but all the children will see is a beard and a gloved hand. The main engagement the kids will have will be a personalized letter that they will receive from Santa at the end of the class that they can print out.
If the children ask tough questions about Santa, I will reply mainly in the theoretical, rather than the concrete. One reason I'm in character as a scientist is because it allows me to speak about Santa in terms of, "This is my theory about how Santa does this or that," so everyone can make up their own minds as to how Santa operates, while still engendering scientific curiosity. This is ultimately the goal of the class, to get kids to be curious about science in an entertaining way.

Although I was inspired by NORAD's Santa tracker and Comet Tracker to create the class, we will not be using them in the class. I will merely play a Youtube video of the Santa tracker. The students are encouraged to participate in an experiment from a free science website called "Gismos," which will allow them to simulate the movement of the sun and the Earth. If the parents don't wish to use the website, I'll use a screen share to show the experiment.
