In this activity, learners of all ages can become food scientists by experimenting with flour and water to make basic pasta.

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.

This is an activity about a very important ingredient in most baked goods - gluten! Why is gluten so important? Without it, there would be nothing to hold the gas that makes bread rise.

In this activity, learners use food scraps from the kitchen to grow new vegetables.

In this activity, learners will make their own slushies and learn some of the science behind how the process works.

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.

In this demonstration, adult learners create a lava lamp using beer and nuts! Use this pub-themed activity to demonstrate the effects of buoyancy and bubbles.

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

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 make prisms from gelatin. Learners then shine light through the prisms and discover what happens. This activity introduces learners to the idea of refraction.

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

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

DNA is the thread of life. Encoded in its genetic sequence is the information that makes each of us unique. This activity allows you to see long, stringy strands of DNA extracted from wheat germ.

This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.

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

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.
