Learners build a solar oven from a cardboard pizza box, aluminum foil and plastic. Learners can use their oven to cook S'mores or other food in the sun.

In this activity, groups of learners work together to create edible models of chemicals involved in autotrophic nutrition.

This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.

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.

This is a quick activity that shows how large amounts of rock and sediment are added to the edge of continents during subduction.

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

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.

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

In this activity, learners model hot spot island formation, orientation and progression with condiments.

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.

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of air pressure. They will watch as marshmallows inside a bottle expand as a vacuum pump removes air from the bottle.

In this activity, learners investigate convection by using food coloring and water of different temperatures.

In this activity, learners use a flashlight, a glass of water, and some milk to examine why the sky is blue and sunsets are red.

In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a lemon slice appears to magically levitate within a pint glass.

In this activity, groups cut out and sort cards showing items recovered from a crash landing on the Moon. The 12 items range from food and water to rope and matches to a self-inflating life raft.

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

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.

In this simulation, learners use M&M™ candy to explore radioactive isotope decay.

In this activity, learners explore a bucket of sand and beach objects.

In this data analysis activity, learners quantify the abundance and distribution of sea scallops in and adjacent to the Mid-Atlantic closed areas.
