In this activity, learners dissect a piece of pizza to learn about nutrients important for health.

In this activity, learners burn a peanut, which produces a flame that can be used to boil away water and count the calories contained in the peanut.

In this nutrition and estimation activity (page 12 of PDF), learners estimate serving sizes of different foods and compare their estimates to serving size information provided on nutrition food labels

Through this nutrition activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will understand—and probably be surprised by—how big serving sizes of various foods should be.

This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.

In this food science activity, learners conduct an experiment that demonstrates the importance of light to plants.

In this math lesson, learners use slices of bread and geoboards to explore several ways to divide a rectangle in half. Learners also identify equivalent fractions that represent one-half.

In this math lesson, learners use fruit to learn about proportions and percentages. Learners compare the weights of the edible and non-edible portions of fruit.

In this math activity, learners guess which cereals contain the most sugar. Learners use the nutrition labels on the cereal boxes to find the cereal with the least amount of sugar.

Albert Einstein proved that space bends around anything that has mass. This activity uses Jell-O's ability to bend around objects as a model for space bending around planets and stars.

In this activity/demo, learners discover how liquid nitrogen cools a creamy mixture at such a rapid rate that it precipitates super fine grained (nano) ice cream.

In this activity learners observe mold growth on different types of bread by measuring and recording the growth rate.

In this math lesson, learners explore the relationship between the thickness of a spaghetti bridge, the length of the bridge, and the amount of weight that can be supported by the bridge.

In this activity, learners explore engineering package designs that meet the needs of safely shipping a product.

In this activity, learners count and measure kidney beans to explore natural selection and variation. Learners measure the length of 50-100 beans.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Body Electricity Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into conductivity.

In this water activity, learners build boats that float and sink. First, learners listen to the book, "Who Sank the Boat" and practice making predictions throughout the story.

In this activity, learners explore how product design differences can affect the success of a final product -- in this case a bag for holding candy.

Can gelatin (like Jell-O ®) change the speed of light?

In this kitchen chemistry activity, learners explore the chemistry of crystals by making sugar crystals, consider a common chemical reaction type responsible for the rising of muffins and cake in the
