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.

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

In this activity (last activity on the page), learners make a model of the eardrum (also called the "tympanic membrane") and see how sound travels through the air.

In this matching activity (3rd activity on the page), learners use their sense of smell to match pairs of opaque containers filled with various smelly items like orange peel, roses, or moth balls.

In this activity, learners make "solar cookies," edible models of the Sun's outer layers using sugar cookies and toppings.

In this activity, learners explore how their sense of smell affects their taste buds. Learners taste different flavored jelly beans while holding their nose.

In this a hands-on activity, learners explore how to put ice cream in an oven without it melting. Ideas in this activity include insulation and cooking.

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

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

In this activity, learners compare frog eggs to chicken eggs to better understand why frog eggs need water. Learners compare a boiled chicken egg to "frog eggs" represented by boiled tapioca.

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 hands-on activity, learners make the world's simplest Cartesian diver, using only a plastic bottle, some water, and a condiment packet.

In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.

In this activity, learners explore fractions as they help gators share pies.

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

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can explore the process used to cast and mold molten metal, glass, and plastics.

In this chemistry activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners make an acid-base indicator using cabbage. Learners then explore how various subtances react with this indicator.

Don't scream for ice cream -- make it with milk, sugar, flavoring and some 'salt-water' ice. Discover the chemistry of ice cream by creating your own.

In this engineering activity, learners investigate the differences between the strength of bridges made from flat and round building materials.
