In this yummy activity about soil (page 9 of PDF), learners will create layers of soil using food. They will learn about the composition and role of each layer.

In this three-part activity, learners use food to determine the effects of wind, sandblasting and water on regolith (dust) formation and deposition on Earth.

In this chemistry activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make a layered drink with liquids of different densities.

Learners grow sugar crystals (rock candy). They make a hot solution that has an excess of sugar dissolved in it, then as the solution cools, they see sugar crystals form.

In this delicious activity, learners get to make, taste-test and compare their own "brands" of homemade strawberry ice cream.

In this activity, learners will explore the density of an object in water. Learners will compare what happens to fruits and vegetables in regular and salt water.

In this activity, learners model atmospheric convection currents using food coloring, water, and clear cups. Activity includes step-by-step instructions, STEM connections, and more.

In this activity about magnetism (page 17 of the pdf), learners experiment with magnets, exploring the concept of diamagnetic materials by seeing how a grape reacts to a magnetic field.

In this activity, learners investigate why apples turn brown. Learners discover that lemon juice interferes with the reaction that causes the browning.

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

In this activity, learners make their own edible DNA double helix out of candy and find out about the shape of DNA.

In this sunny day activity, learners compare how a cup of water and a cup of tonic water reflect or refract light in the sun.

In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners investigate how much sugar is in a soda. Learners use sugar cubes to measure and calculate the amount of sugar in a bottle of soda.

In this activity, learners recreate the lunar phases using the frosting from Oreo® cookies and place the phases in order. Round cream cheese crackers can also be used if cookies are not an option.

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.

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

In this demonstration/activity, learners observe as a regular size marshmallow is blown through a tube made from a manila file folder.

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.

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

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.
