Virtual Fun Roundup: 9 science videos and activities for kids from across North Carolina

Twice a week, here on Go Ask Mom, we've been sharing virtual fun roundups, pulling together a handful of virtual activities to help keep the kids busy -- and educated -- while we wait out the stay-at-home orders. And in honor of this month's virtual North Carolina Science Festival, which went online because of the pandemic this month, I'm sharing some educational science videos from across the state.
