Biochemistry Happens Inside of You!
Source Institutions
In this four-part activity, learners explore how the body works and the chemistry that happens inside living things.

To Dye For
Source Institutions
Learners add two dyes to mineral oil and water, and then compare their miscibility (how well they mix) in each.

Nutritional Challenges
Source Institutions
In this nutrition activity (page 26 of PDF), learners consider the nutritional needs of people with specific dietary requirements, such as athletes, persons with diabetes and vegetarians, and create a

Iodine Investigators!
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Chemistry—It’s Elemental), learners use iodine to identify foods that contain starch.

Milk Magic
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experiment with how dish soap and fat interact by making a colorful swirl.

Magic Colored Milk
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will use milk and a few other basic ingredients to create a chemical change to make a color wheel.

Fuel for Living Things
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe what happens when yeast cells are provided with a source of food (sugar). Red cabbage "juice" will serve as an indicator for the presence of carbon dioxide.

Candy Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners test multiple food items to see if they are an acid or base using an indicator solution created with red cabbage.

Jelly Beads
Source Institutions
Learners add drops of alginate solution to a solution of calcium chloride. The alginate does not mix with the calcium chloride, but forms soft gel beads.

Monster Mallows
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how ordinary marshmallows expand when heated in a microwave.

Butter Up
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will discover how to make butter from scratch. One optional tips includes adding marbles to speed up the process.

Goodness Gracious! Great Balls of Gluten!
Source Institutions
This is an activity about a very important ingredient in most baked goods - gluten! Why is gluten so important? Without it, there would be nothing to hold the gas that makes bread rise.

Rainbow Density Experiment
Source Institutions
In this colorful activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will make a multicolor density column by using different concentrations of sugar solutions.

Supercooled Water Drops
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners touch supercooled water drops with an ice crystal and trigger the water drops to freeze instantly.

Spit Test
Source Institutions
In this biology activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will explore how saliva assists in the beginning of the digestive process.

Colorful Electrophoresis
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners follow step-by-step instructions to build a gel electrophoresis chamber using inexpensive materials from local hardware and electronic stores.

Cheese: Behold the Power of Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners conduct an experiment to get an idea of how cheese is made.

Density Rainbows
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of density by pouring 5 different liquids into a jar. Food coloring is added if needed to give each liquid a distinct color.

Smell the Maillard Reaction
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners cook amino acids and sugar to explore the range of aromas released.

Hollandaise Sauce: Emulsion at Work
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners follow a recipe to make hollandaise sauce. Learners discover how cooks use egg yolks to blend oil and water together into a smooth mix.
