No Saliva, No Taste?
Source Institutions
In this activity (4th activity on the page), learners test to see if saliva is necessary for food to have taste.

Edible/Inedible
Source Institutions
In this activity about olfaction (9th activity on the page), learners smell 10 different items with different odors, including some edible food items.

Fireworks in a Glass
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use water, oil, and food coloring to observe a chemical reaction that creates a shower of colors inside of a glass.

Swirling Milk
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners prepare two petri dishes, one filled with water and one filled with milk.

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.

Convection
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model atmospheric convection currents using food coloring, water, and clear cups. Activity includes step-by-step instructions, STEM connections, and more.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Robot
Source Institutions
This is an activity about robotics programming. Learners will discover how precise programmers have to be as they instruct a friend to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Yeast-Air Balloons
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a yeast-air balloon to get a better idea of what yeast can do. Learners discover that the purpose of leaveners like yeast is to produce the gas that makes bread rise.
Pepper Scatter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the forces at work in water. Learners experiment to find out what happens to pepper in water when they touch it with bar soap and liquid detergent.

Toast a Mole!
Source Institutions
In this quick activity, learners drink Avogadro's number worth of molecules - 6.02x10^23 molecules!

Hot Sauce Hot Spots
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model hot spot island formation, orientation and progression with condiments.

Chocolate (Sea Floor) Lava
Source Institutions
In this edible experiment, learners pour "Magic Shell" chocolate into a glass of cold water. They'll observe as pillow shaped structures form, which resemble lavas on the sea floor.

Potato Straw
Source Institutions
In this physics demonstration, learners are challenged to insert a straw the furthest into a potato.

Light Soda
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners sublimate dry ice and then taste the carbon dioxide gas.

How Sweet It Is
Source Institutions
In this activity (4th activity on the page), learners use their sense of smell to rate and arrange containers filled with different dilutions of a scent (like cologne or fruit juice) in order from wea

Dancing Spaghetti
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners use spaghetti to explore density and chemical reactions.

Potato Power
Source Institutions
Learners combine hydrogen peroxide with three different forms of potato: raw chunks, ground chunks, and boiled chunks.

Nuclear Fusion
Source Institutions
This simple and engaging astronomy activity explains nuclear fusion and how radiation is generated by stars, using marshmallows as a model.

Solar Convection
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners add food coloring to hot and cold water in order to see how fluids at different temperatures move around in convection currents.

Smell the Difference
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity, learners use household items to smell the difference between some stereoisomers, or molecules which are mirror images of one another.
