Make snack time into measuring time and learn to read Nutrition Facts labels. Try this when you’re using “pourable” foods, such as cereal, yoghurt, or juice.

In this activity, learners investigate diffusion by creating underwater "fireworks" using food coloring, oil and water.

Learners add two dyes to mineral oil and water, and then compare their miscibility (how well they mix) in each.

In this activity, learners mix water, cooking oil, and liquid food coloring to create beautiful colored designs in a cup. Use this activity to explore liquid density and solubility.

In this activity, learners touch supercooled water drops with an ice crystal and trigger the water drops to freeze instantly.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of density by pouring 5 different liquids into a jar. Food coloring is added if needed to give each liquid a distinct color.

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.

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.

In this chemistry activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make a layered drink with liquids of different densities.

In the kitchen, learners can perform their own density investigation.

In this hands-on activity, learners explore static electricity through the use of common household products. They also explore the connection between static electricity and cold weather.

In this activity, learners explore the forces at work in water. Learners experiment to find out what happens to pepper in water when they touch it with bar soap and liquid detergent.

Investigate the interaction of liquids of different densities and experiment with wave patterns with this hands-on activity.

In this quick activity, learners drink Avogadro's number worth of molecules - 6.02x10^23 molecules!

In this physics demonstration, learners are challenged to insert a straw the furthest into a potato.

In this hands-on activity, learners make the world's simplest Cartesian diver, using only a plastic bottle, some water, and a condiment packet.

Learners observe a tank of water containing cans of diet and regular sodas. The diet sodas float and the regular sodas sink. All the cans contain the same amount of liquid and the same amount of air.

In this activity, learners sublimate dry ice and then taste the carbon dioxide gas.

In this chemistry demonstration, learners investigate the factors that increase the rate of dissolution for a solid.

In this activity, learners mix up a bubbly brew and examine density. Learners explore how they can make different materials fall and rise in water using oil, water, and salt.
