In this activity, learners will explore vegetative propagation while preparing food scraps to grow into plants.

In this activity (4th activity on the page), learners test to see if saliva is necessary for food to have taste.

In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 5 of PDF), learners conduct an experiment to compare how much energy is released as heat from two different foods.

In this food science activity, learners explore digestion and proteins by observing the action of meat tenderizer on luncheon meat.

Did you know that some breakfast cereals are fortified with ferric phosphate, while others contain tiny pieces of reduced iron?

In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 1 of PDF), learners observe and quantify the growth of yeast when it is given table sugar as a food source.

Learners investigate an iron-fortified cereal by stirring it with a strong magnet. They discover that metallic iron is present in some cereals.

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

In this activity, learners observe what happens when yeast cells are provided with a source of food (sugar). Red cabbage "juice" will serve as an indicator for the presence of carbon dioxide.

In this biology activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will explore how saliva assists in the beginning of the digestive process.

Capture soap bubble patterns on paper! In this activity, learners can create beautiful pictures from popping soap bubbles.

In this activity, learners extract DNA from a strawberry and discover that DNA is in the food they eat.

In this delicious activity, learners get to make, taste-test and compare their own "brands" of homemade strawberry ice cream.

In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners investigate how much sugar is in a soda. Learners use sugar cubes to measure and calculate the amount of sugar in a bottle of soda.

In this activity, learners make a yeast-air balloon to get a better idea of what yeast can do. Learners discover that the purpose of leaveners like yeast is to produce the gas that makes bread rise.

In this activity, learners compare frog eggs to chicken eggs to better understand why frog eggs need water. Learners compare a boiled chicken egg to "frog eggs" represented by boiled tapioca.

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

Learners place cut flowers in colored water and observe how the flowers change. The flowers absorb the water through the stem and leaves.

In this activity, learners use Jell-O to explore lenses. Learners cut Jell-O into convex and concave lens shapes and examine how light exits each lens in a darkened room.

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