Universal Indicator Rainbow Trout
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 2 of the PDF, learners discover how color changes can help scientists distinguish between acids and bases.

Make Your Own Soda Pop
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will identify the instances of physical change, chemical change, and solutions while making homemade soda pop.

Jiggly Jupiter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build edible models of Jupiter and Earth to compare their sizes and illustrate the planets' internal layers.

Column Chromatography
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners separate the components of Gatorade using a home-made affinity column.

Wheat Germ DNA Extraction
Source Institutions
This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from wheat germ using simple materials.

Capturing Carbon Dioxide
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate carbon sequestration by creating a carbonated beverage out of apple juice and dry ice.

Exploring Fabrication: Gummy Capsules
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make self-assembled polymer spheres.

Exploring Structures: DNA
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a necklace of wheat germ DNA. Learners add alcohol to wheat germ so that the DNA clumps together.

DNA Extraction
Source Institutions
In this activity related to plant biotechnology, learners extract DNA from fruit to investigate how it looks and feels.

Newton's Laws Demonstrations
Source Institutions
In this collection of demonstrations, learners explore Newton's Laws of Motion.

Thymus DNA Extractions
Source Institutions
This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can be extracted from a chunk of thymus (sweetbread) or liver.

Gummy Shapes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

Membrane Permeability with Beets
Source Institutions
In this lab exercise, learners explore diffusion, cell membranes and particle size using beets and three alcohols.

Lima Bean Bacteria DNA Extraction
Source Institutions
This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from lima bean bacteria. This experiment requires the use of a centrifuge (not included in cost of materials).

Acids & Bases
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners test the pH of safe liquids available at home by creating a pH indicator from mashed blueberries.

Trebuchet Toss
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore trebuchet design. Teams of learners construct trebuchets from everyday materials.

Cookie Surface Area
Source Institutions
This is an activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area to volume ratio.

Jell-O Model of Microfluidics
Source Institutions
This activity uses Jell-O(R) to introduce learners to microfluidics, the flow of fluids through microscopic channels.

Making Connections: What You Can Do To Help Stop Global Climate Change
Source Institutions
In this cooperative learning activity, learners visit ten stations and are challenged to think critically about various conservation questions and issues.
What Molecules Make the Holes in Bread?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will discover why there are holes in bread.
