Learners set up three different bowls, each with a different mass of oatmeal. Learners monitor the temperature of the oatmeal and find that larger masses take longer to cool.

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.

This activity helps learners learn about math through a real-world scenario. Three friends are baking cookies for their school’s bake sale.

Learners investigate signs of a chemical reaction when they mix vinegar and baking soda. In addition to a gas being produced, learners also notice the temperature decreases.

Learners design their own experiment to compare how well cocoa mix dissolves in cold and hot water. They will see that cocoa mix dissolves much better in hot water. Adult supervision recommended.

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

In this Cyberchase activity, have fun measuring volumes and enjoy a delicious shake.

In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Exercise and Memory), learners will investigate what happens to bubble gum when it is chewed for 5-10 minutes.

Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.

In this chemistry activity, learners perform three chemical reactions in a sealed zip-top bag. Learners will record their observations and classify the changes as chemical or physical.

In this fun hands-on activity, learners use simple materials to investigate evaporation. How can the evaporation of water on a hot day be used to cool an object? Find out the experimental way!

In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off), learners will use the ever-popular soda geyser experiment to test the reactivity of the various sugar candies or mints.

Learners combine hydrogen peroxide with three different forms of potato: raw chunks, ground chunks, and boiled chunks.

In this activity, learners measure the amount of carbon dioxide in a carbonated drink.

In this math lesson, learners model exponential decay and exponential growth using M&M's, paper folding, and African rhino population data.

Learners design their own experiment to determine which M&M color dissolves the fastest in water.

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 chemistry activity, learners use the lowered freezing point of water to chill another mixture (ice cream) to the solid state.

In this introductory activity and demonstration, learners are introduced to the concept that different substances react chemically in characteristic ways.

In this math lesson, learners apply the concepts of ratios and percentages to the distribution of letters contained in a box of Alphabits® cereal.
