In this activity, learners burn a peanut, which produces a flame that can be used to boil away water and count the calories contained in the peanut.

In this activity (1st activity on the page), learners explore their sense of taste and the structure of the tongue by taste-testing various foods.

In this activity (5th activity on the page), learners explore how what you see influences taste. In experiment 1, learners taste five sodas, one of which is clear soda with orange food coloring.

In this demonstration/activity, learners observe as a regular size marshmallow is blown through a tube made from a manila file folder.

In this activity, learners eat a snack and make a model of the plumbing system of a volcano.

In this activity, learners experiment with hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, yeast, and baking soda to produce hot and cold reactions. Use this activity to demonstrate exothermic and endothermic reactions.

Learners set up three different bowls, each with a different mass of oatmeal. Learners monitor the temperature of the oatmeal and find that larger masses take longer to cool.

In this activity (25th on the page) about learning and memory, learners explore a training method that animal trainers employ called "shaping." Working in pairs, learners will attempt to "shape" each

In this chemistry activity, learners perform three chemical reactions in a sealed zip-top bag. Learners will record their observations and classify the changes as chemical or physical.

In this activity, learners perform an experiment that models a chromatography-like process called electrophoresis, a process used to analyze DNA.

In this activity that can be used as a lab or demonstration, learners use Lactaid® and lactose to demonstrate the concept of enzyme action.

In this chemistry activity, learners use the lowered freezing point of water to chill another mixture (ice cream) to the solid state.

In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

In this lab exercise, learners explore diffusion, cell membranes and particle size using beets and three alcohols.

In this activity, learners explore deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a nanoscale structure that occurs in nature.
