The Amazing Water Trick
Source Institutions
Using two baby food jars, food coloring, and an index card, you'll 'marry' the jars to see how hot water and cold water mix.

Smell the Maillard Reaction
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners cook amino acids and sugar to explore the range of aromas released.

Hollandaise Sauce: Emulsion at Work
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners follow a recipe to make hollandaise sauce. Learners discover how cooks use egg yolks to blend oil and water together into a smooth mix.

A Feast for Yeast
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 6 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners investigate yeast. Learners prepare an experiment to observe what yeast cells like to eat.

Bendy Bones
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 19-24 of PDF), learners soak chicken bones or eggshells in vinegar for several days.

Surface Tension
Source Institutions
In this activity exploring liquid dynamics, learners design and build a clay channel in a tray of water and then see what happens when food coloring and liquid soap are added to the mix.

See It to Believe It: Visual Discrimination
Source Institutions
In this activity (12th on the page), learners investigate their ability to discriminate (see) different colors.

Make a "Mummy"
Source Institutions
The Ancient Egyptians used a naturally-occurring salt from the banks of the Nile River, called natron, to mummify their dead.

Layered Liquids: Chemistry You Can Drink
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make a layered drink with liquids of different densities.

Sweet Speedway
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners test different food items by timing how long it takes each liquid to slide from the top of a ramp to the bottom.

Soup Can Derby
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 2 of PDF under GPS: Roller Coaster Design Activity), learners will use food cans of many different properties (sizes, shapes, and weights) and set two cans on their sides at

Grow Rock Candy
Source Institutions
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.

Defining Dissolving
Source Institutions
In this introductory activity, learners discover that sugar and food coloring dissolve in water but neither dissolves in oil.

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

Pickle-oh!: Musical Pickle Instrument
Source Institutions
What's a Pickle-Oh? Two pieces of pickle on a stick are connected to a Pico Cricket (micro controller). When you slide the pickles apart the note changes.

Plankton Feeding
Source Institutions
This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.

Servings and Choices
Source Institutions
In this nutrition activity (page 16 of PDF), learners document their individual eating habits and learn whether their eating patterns meet their needs.

Recipe for a Moon
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that the Moon, like Earth, is made up of layers of different materials. Learners work in teams to make models of the interiors of the Moon and Earth.

Do Plants Need Light?
Source Institutions
In this food science activity, learners conduct an experiment that demonstrates the importance of light to plants.
