In this activity learners observe mold growth on different types of bread by measuring and recording the growth rate.

In this activity, learners construct drums out of everyday containers (like bowls or food containers) and shrink wrap. Learners use a hair dryer to affix and tighten the shrink wrap to the container.

In this Energy and Environment activity (page 9 of the PDF), learners calculate the mass of a piece of gum, compare it to the mass of the gum's packaging, and then create a bar graph of the results.

Learners place an M&M candy in water and observe what happens. The sugar-and-color coating dissolves and spreads out in a circular pattern around the M&M.

This activity helps learners learn about math through a real-world scenario. Three friends are baking cookies for their school’s bake sale.

Learners investigate signs of a chemical reaction when they mix vinegar and baking soda. In addition to a gas being produced, learners also notice the temperature decreases.

In this math activity (Page 11 of the Dining Out! PDF), younger learners count out the total amount of money needed to purchase trail mix using the fewest number of bills/coins possible.

In this health and genetics activity, learners determine whether tasting the bitter compound PTC (phenylthiocarbamide) influences which vegetables a person likes.

In this Cyberchase activity, have fun measuring volumes and enjoy a delicious shake.

In this math lesson, learners rotate through six estimating and measuring centers. First, learners read the book, "Room for Ripley" by Stuart J.

En esta tira cómica, Mateo y Cientina emplean su conocimiento de la química y las medidas para esta actividad deliciosa - ¡hacer helado!

This game teaches ratio and proportion by having learners make "salads" that combine three types of beans in different combinations.

Learners design their own experiment to compare how well cocoa mix dissolves in cold and hot water. They will see that cocoa mix dissolves much better in hot water. Adult supervision recommended.

In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Exercise and Memory), learners will investigate what happens to bubble gum when it is chewed for 5-10 minutes.

Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.

In this math activity (Page 8 of the Dining Out! PDF), younger learners select items from a menu and count out the total amount needed using the fewest bills and coins possible.

In this activity, learners build edible models of Jupiter and Earth to compare their sizes and illustrate the planets' internal layers.

In this activity, learners heat and cool carbonated water to find out whether temperature has an effect on how fast the dissolved gas leaves carbonated water.

This lesson will helps learners answer the question: How does the bombardment of micrometeoroids make regolith on the moon?

In this chemistry activity, learners perform three chemical reactions in a sealed zip-top bag. Learners will record their observations and classify the changes as chemical or physical.
