Serving Sizes
Source Institutions
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

Do Plants Need Light?
Source Institutions
In this food science activity, learners conduct an experiment that demonstrates the importance of light to plants.
Starburst® Graph
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use Starburst® candy to sort, classify, compare, and graph. Learners grab a handful of one-inch candy squares, sort them by color, graph the candy, and discuss the results.

Number Sense and Computation: To Half or Half Not
Source Institutions
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.

For the Birds
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore nature by creating food for birds. Learners will develop fine motor skills and engage in nature observation through this activity.

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

Sweetly Balanced Equations
Source Institutions
In this (edible) activity, learners balance chemical equations using different kinds and colors of candy that represent different atoms. Learners will work in pairs and explore conservation of atoms.

Toxic Popcorn Design Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.

Build a Big Wheel
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers have developed big wheels or Ferris wheels.

Bridge the Gap
Source Institutions
Learners work in groups to construct bridges using stale marshmallows and toothpicks.

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

Multi-Variable Relations: Stressed to the Breaking Point
Source Institutions
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.

Making With Microbes
Source Institutions
In this design challenge, learners will use microbes to design and grow a custom biomaterial at home and make something creative with it.

Mix It Up
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners are introduced to proportional reasoning through modeling, sharing, and questioning techniques.

Shipping for Survival
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how packaging engineers develop customized shipping and packaging containers to meet the needs of many different industries.

Make Your Own Batteries!
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Body Electricity Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into conductivity.

Design and Build a Better Candy Bag
Source Institutions
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.

Boats Afloat
Source Institutions
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.

Sail Car Design
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Sailboat Design Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into design optimization.

Statistics: Something Fishy
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners apply the concepts of ratio and proportion to the capture-recapture statistical procedure.
