dirty socks

For a fun STEM experiment to do with your family, have everyone wear an old sock over their shoe and then go for a walk outside.  After everyone has walked around, take the old socks off and spritz the bottom of each sock with water.  Then put each sock in a separate resealable plastic bag.  Hang the bags in a sunny window for 2-3 weeks and see what grows.  You might be amazed!  Make sure you keep the bottom of the sock moist for the best growing conditions.
