In this activity, learners of all ages can become food scientists by experimenting with flour and water to make basic pasta.

In this activity, learners follow simple historical maritime recipes to cook up hardtack and swanky, and then compare the foods they eat to what was served on ships in the past.

In this activity, learners test the rate of ripening fruit and vegetables and use a chemical to inhibit the ripening process.

In this exciting and tasty chemistry activity which requires adult supervision, learners explore how chemistry affects a simple everyday activity like cooking.

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

In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.

In this activity (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.

In this activity, learners explore engineering package designs that meet the needs of safely shipping a product.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a shock-absorbing system that will protect two “astronauts” when they land.

This activity uses Jell-O(R) to introduce learners to microfluidics, the flow of fluids through microscopic channels.

In this activity, learners explore how packaging engineers develop customized shipping and packaging containers to meet the needs of many different industries.

This activity (page 3 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs) is a full inquiry investigation into fossil hunting and identification.

In this activity (on pages 2-8), learners experience how scientists use classification in their study of animals.

Learners explore soybeans, soak them in water to remove their coat, and then split them open to look inside. They also make a musical shaker out of paper cups, a cardboard tube, and soybeans.

In this activity about engineering, nutrition, and physical activity, learners design and build a healthy bone model of a space explorer which is strong enough to withstand increasing amounts of weigh

This exercise is designed to teach young learners the different parts of a plant (root, stems, leaves, flowers, fruit, and seeds), the basic functions of each part, and to show that tiny microscopic o

In this activity, learners drop impactors onto layers of graham crackers!
