Cake by Conduction
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, cook a cake using the heat produced when the cake batter conducts an electric current.

How to Extract DNA From Anything Living
Source Institutions
In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.

Cabbage Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners make an acid-base indicator using cabbage. Learners then explore how various subtances react with this indicator.

Guar Gum Slime
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a gelatinous slime using guar gum powder and borax. Educators can use this simple activity to introduce learners to colloids.

Shimmering Lenses
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use Jell-O to explore lenses. Learners cut Jell-O into convex and concave lens shapes and examine how light exits each lens in a darkened room.
Stability of Egg White Foams
Source Institutions
In this chemistry meets cooking activity, learners compare the stability of egg white foams with various additives.

Milk Plastic
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners transform everyday milk into small plastic figurines and jewelry. Use this activity to introduce learners to monomers and polymers.

Radioactive Decay of Candium
Source Institutions
In this simulation, learners use M&M™ candy to explore radioactive isotope decay.

Rotating Light
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore what happens when polarized white light passes through a sugar solution.

Wintergreen
Source Institutions
In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.
