Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a game to simulate the food chain.

Who Eats What?
Source Institutions
This activity is on page 10 (continued on the right side of page 11) of the pdf, part of the Forest Animals Discovery Box. In this game, learners act out the food web.

The Gas You Pass
Source Institutions
Although we may not admit it, all humans fart or pass some gas. In this activity, learners make their own model to mimic food passing through intestines and discover what releases gas.

Got Seaweed?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine the properties of different seaweeds, investigate what happens when powdered seaweed (alginate) is added to water, and learn about food products made with seaweed.
Many Seeds: Estimating Hidden Seeds
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will estimate how many seeds are in a fruit or vegetable, then count to find out. The result: mix estimation with healthy eating.

Iodine Investigators!
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Chemistry—It’s Elemental), learners use iodine to identify foods that contain starch.

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.

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

Bird Beaks
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate different types of bird beaks using household items which mimic different beak examples.

Cabbage Patch Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners will learn how to make their own pH indicator using cabbage leaves, and then test common household items with their homemade indicator.

Dinosaur Homes
Source Institutions
In this activity about dinosaurs and survival, learners use scrap materials to create a miniature dinosaur habitat that includes a food source, water source, and shelter.

In this activity (p.3-4 of PDF), learners learn about disease transmission and antibiotic resistance.

Close, Closer, Closest
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners perform an experiment that models a chromatography-like process called electrophoresis, a process used to analyze DNA.

Cartesian Diver
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: California Fish), learners will build a simple Cartesian Diver in an empty 2-liter bottle.

Making a Battery from a Potato
Source Institutions
In this electrochemistry activity, young learners and adult helpers create a battery from a potato to run a clock.

T. rex Cretaceous Treat
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make edible T. rex teeth (with adult assistance). The treat is a white and dark chocolate covered banana on a stick.
