Since we can’t attend group trash cleanups or environmental fairs like we normally do, try focusing on the little changes you can make at home.
You can also take a virtual science lesson and feel like you're right back at school from the comfort of your couch.
Plus, we break down resources for artists, livestreams for kids, and the Philly-directed Michael Jordan docu-series for, well, everyone.
As the pandemic continues on, The KYW To-Do List has your back on what to do this weekend.
SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT
"The Last Dance," a documentary about Michael Jordan, piloted last weekend to rave reviews — and it was produced by Philly native Mike Tollin. Over his 40-plus year, career producing movies and documentaries such as "Coach Carter," "Radio" and "Varsity Blues," Tollin remarks that "I’ve never been involved in a production with this level of anticipation."
Don't miss this 10-part limited miniseries, Sunday nights from 9 to 11 p.m. on ESPN.
FOR ARTISTS
Are you an entertainer or artist? The city has compiled dedicated resources for a one-stop shop of information regarding COVID-19.
Philadelphia Chief Cultural Officer Kelly Lee stated while "none of these individual resources is a fix for all ... they can go a long way for those who have lost income and work."
“What we're hoping is that our artists and art organizations can look to the resources and start to piece together enough revenue just to sort of stay afloat until we can focus on recovery,” she said.
EARTH DAY
Did you know that Philadelphia was the first city to host an Earth Week? Philadelphians gathered together back in 1970. Forty years later, we continue to help the Earth — just this year, from inside our homes.
The city has a long list of activities to celebrate our planet, from direct actions to reduce your environmental impact, to free workouts, self-care tips, and digital photograph archives.
The Franklin Institute asks you to join the city nature challenge by snapping pictures of the world around you for documentation and research. Explore biodiversity on the iNaturalist app, and you can even become a citizen scientist.
Put on some gloves and a mask and head out into your neighborhood to pick up trash. Make it a family contest. Biggest bag gets a prize.

FOR THE KIDS
While children are out of school, there are plenty of livestreams and online activities for kids who enjoy science. From the California Science Center to the American Natural History Museum in New York City, our internet's got you and your family covered with extracurricular science-y learnings.
