In this activity, learners conduct a controlled experiment to examine how temperature will affect the height of a soda geyser.

In this activity related to Archimedes' Principle, learners use water displacement to compare the volume of an expanded gummy bear with a gummy bear in its original condition.

In this activity, learners explore engineering package designs that meet the needs of safely shipping a product.

In this activity, learners conduct a controlled experiment to examine which brand of soda makes the best (highest) soda geyser.

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

In this activity, learners count and measure kidney beans to explore natural selection and variation. Learners measure the length of 50-100 beans.

In this activity, learners cut wells in JELL-O© and load the wells with different detergent solutions.

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.

In this activity, learners discover the principles of edible glass by making a supersaturated sugar solution.

This three-part lab helps learners understand the essential principles governing diffusion and osmosis.

In this activity, learners explore how product design differences can affect the success of a final product -- in this case a bag for holding candy.

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

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have met the challenge of keeping foods, liquids, and other items cool.

This activity allows learners to explore the scientific method in an open-ended fashion, using the 4-P Approach to Science Inquiry developed by the University of Wisconsin, Beloit.

Can gelatin (like Jell-O ®) change the speed of light?

In this laboratory activity, learners design an experiment to evaluate how environmental factors influence the growth of molds.

In this data analysis activity, learners use data collected by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) to study Chilean sea bass populations.

In this activity, learners explore chemistry and the microbial world by making their own sourdough starter and bread at home using only flour and water.
