In this outdoor game, learners role play populations linked in a food chain.

Some animals can swallow food whole, but humans have to chew. In this activity, learners will investigate what saliva does chemically to food before we even swallow.

In this outdoor game, learners play the roles of gray or red squirrels gathering and storing a supply of food in "fall" and recovering enough of them to survive the "winter." Learners carry bags repre

Through this nutrition activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will understand—and probably be surprised by—how big serving sizes of various foods should be.

In this activity, learners will conduct an experiment to discover methods of reventing foot mold growth on food.

In this activity, learners examine the properties of different seaweeds, investigate what happens when powdered seaweed (alginate) is added to water, and learn about food products made with seaweed.

In this activity, learners will turn cream and salt into butter—using marbles. Learners will explore how shaking up fat globules help them create homemade butter.

In this outdoor activity, learners explore how a surprising number of animals use human-made litter, such as cans and crumpled paper, to find food and shelter in their environment.

In this chemistry challenge, learners identify which plants have the enzyme "catalase" that breaks hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

Learners and their families celebrate and recognize the importance of making healthy choices every day by participating in a health fair.

In this activity, learners of all ages will design a functional bird feeder using familiar, every day materials.
