This reading and writing activity (on pages 2-9) teaches what plant parts should be avoided, how a person can get rid of toxins, symptoms of plant poisoning, and how plants create poisons to repel pre

In this collection of demonstrations, learners explore Newton's Laws of Motion.

In this electrochemistry activity, young learners and adult helpers create a battery from a potato to run a clock.

In this tasty activity, learners make their own ice cream any day of the year in an exploration of heat and cold. Highlights include freezing and melting and the transition from liquid to solid.

Learners write an invisible message using lemon juice on a piece of paper. They then develop the message by soaking the paper in a dilute iodine solution.

In this activity, learners will develop a method to test five similar-looking powders (baking soda, baking powder, cream of tartar, detergent, and cornstarch) with four test liquids (water, vinegar, i

In this introductory activity and demonstration, learners are introduced to the concept that different substances react chemically in characteristic ways.

In this activity related to rotational inertia (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Microgravity), learners will use a bit of scientific experimenting to test if open-faced peanut butter sandwi

DNA is the thread of life. Encoded in its genetic sequence is the information that makes each of us unique. This activity allows you to see long, stringy strands of DNA extracted from wheat germ.

In this activity, learners count and measure kidney beans to explore natural selection and variation. Learners measure the length of 50-100 beans.

In this math lesson, learners are introduced to proportional reasoning through modeling, sharing, and questioning techniques.

In this activity, learners cut wells in JELL-O© and load the wells with different detergent solutions.

In this activity about combustion and energy, learners observe a burning candle in a sealed jar and the burning of white sugar.

In this activity, learners review the history of gumball machines and explore potential and kinetic energy, while working in teams to build a gumball slide.

In this activity, learners explore what happens when polarized white light passes through a sugar solution.

In this activity, learners will discover why there are holes in bread.

In this activity, learners discover the principles of edible glass by making a supersaturated sugar solution.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make a plastic protein polymer from milk. Adding vinegar to milk causes the protein casein to solidify or curdle.

In this activity, learners use a microscope to examine three different microbes: bacteria, yeast and paramecia. Educator will need to prepare the yeast solution one day before the activity.
