Learners make a "menu" of any plants in their lunch for Monday through Friday and draw the plants from their lunch.

Learners work as a group to create a map of their community. They use pasta to represent people, and glue the pasta on their maps to show areas of large population.

Learners analyze candy-coated sweets using chromatography. Learners use this method to separate the various dyes used to make colored candy.

In this physics activity, learners will investigate the strength of egg shells.

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.

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.

This hands-on activity shows you how to build basic architectural shapes out of toothpicks and gumdrops.

In this physics activity, learners experiment with the attractive and repulsive power of magnets.

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 activity, learners investigate different types of bird beaks using household items which mimic different beak examples.

This open-ended art project allows learners to create their own colorful ice sculpture by using rock salt and food coloring on a solid block of ice.

In this activity, learners make their own rock candy. Crystals will grow from a piece of string hanging in a cup of sugar water. The edible crystals may take up to a week to form.

In this math lesson, learners use slices of bread and geoboards to explore several ways to divide a rectangle in half. Learners also identify equivalent fractions that represent one-half.

Investigate the interaction of liquids of different densities and experiment with wave patterns with this hands-on activity.

In this yummy chemistry activity which requires adult supervision, learners use sugar and water to explore how crystals form.

In this activity, learners explore static electricity and electrical charges while experimenting with an inflated balloon, unflavored gelatin powder, and a wool sweater.

In this activity, learners explore the concepts of density and basic chemical reactions as they create a homemade lava lamp effect using water, oil, food coloring, and Alka-Seltzer tablets.

In this activity, learners use Starburst® candy to sort, classify, compare, and graph. Learners grab a handful of one-inch candy squares, sort them by color, graph the candy, and discuss the results.

In this simple exploratory activity (1st activity on the page), blindfolded learners try to identify mystery items by smell.

Perform this classic inertia demonstration to illustrate the transfer of potential energy to kinetic energy.
