Discovery Time: Trees
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore tree structure and biology. Tree products are explored by painitng with fruit.

Cabbage Indicator
Source Institutions
In this fun chemistry activity (page 3 of the pdf), learners use cabbage juice to determine the pH of several substances.

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.

Sugar/Salt Crystals
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (page 1 of the PDF), learners will observe a physical change.

Molecules in Motion
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners add food coloring to hot and cold water to see whether heating or cooling affects the speed of water molecules.

Chomp
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 5 of pdf), learners explore the relationships between the shape and structure of a shark's teeth and the food it eats, and then create their own shark tooth from clay.

Homemade Play Dough
Source Institutions
In this sensory activity, young learners explore chemical reactions by making their own play dough from home.

Fraction Penguin
Source Institutions
In this craft activity, learners will recognize, name, and compare the fractions 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8 by constructing a penguin out of portions of paper circles.

Chocoberry Chillers: Volume for Thought
Source Institutions
In this Cyberchase activity, have fun measuring volumes and enjoy a delicious shake.

Breathing Yeasties
Source Institutions
Does yeast breathe? Find out by watching how plastic bags filled with yeast, warm water and different amounts of sugar change over time.

Lengths of Ladybugs
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore the concept of using units to measure length.

Changing the Density of an Object: Adding Material
Source Institutions
Learners see that a can of regular cola sinks while a can of diet cola floats. As a demonstration, bubble wrap is taped to the can of regular cola to make it float.

Separation Anxiety
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover the primary physical properties used to separate pure substances from mixtures.

M&M's in Different Temperatures
Source Institutions
Learners design their own experiment to investigate whether the temperature of the surrounding water affects the rate at which the colored coating dissolves from an M&M.

Spaghetti Bridge
Source Institutions
Play with your food while learning about engineering! Build a spaghetti bridge, then test its strength by piling on the marshmallows, raw spaghetti, raw linguine and coins.

Egg Osmosis: A four day eggsperience!
Source Institutions
Eggs are placed in vinegar for one or two days to dissolve the shells. Then, learners place the eggs in water or corn syrup and observe them over a period of days.

Let's Make Molecules
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use gumdrops and toothpicks to model the composition and molecular structure of three greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor (H2O) and methane (CH4).

M&M's in Different Sugar Solutions
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate whether having sugar already dissolved in water affects the speed of dissolving and the movement of sugar and color through the water.

Comparing the Density of Different Liquids
Source Institutions
Learners carefully pour vegetable oil, water, and corn syrup in any order into a cup and discover that regardless of the order they are poured, the liquids arrange themselves in layers the same way.

Bend a Carrot
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the process of osmosis by adding salt to a sealed bag of raw carrots and comparing it to a control.
