In this activity, learners make a model of the solid Earth's layers that's good enough to eat! Learners use tasty foodstuffs to simulate Earth's inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust.

In this activity, learners create a map showing the origins of spices and herbs from a favorite recipe(s). Learners first research the origins of the ingredients and then locate them on a world map.

Learners work as a group to create a map of their community. They use pasta to represent people, and glue the pasta on their maps to show areas of large population.

This hands-on activity shows you how to build basic architectural shapes out of toothpicks and gumdrops.

In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.

In this engineering activity, learners investigate the differences between the strength of bridges made from flat and round building materials.

Using a milk-based recipe, learners create "moo glue" which is basically white school-type glue. The "secret ingredient" in milk that helps make glue is a chemical called casein.

Learners build structures from spaghetti and marshmallows to determine which structures are able to handle the greatest load.

In this activity, learners follow a recipe to create play dough scented with fruit-flavored drink mix.

In this activity, learners use colored candy to represent subatomic particles and make a model of an atom (Bohr model).

In this activity, learners transform everyday milk into small plastic figurines and jewelry. Use this activity to introduce learners to monomers and polymers.

In this activity, learners use things from the kitchen as building materials to explore how shapes contribute to the strength of different structures.

In this simulation, learners use M&M™ candy to explore radioactive isotope decay.

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

Learners carefully look at four known household crystals.
