Safe Food Preparation
Source Institutions
In this activity about food safety and nutrition, learners investigate safe food preparation by making fruit ice cream.

Using Food Labels
Source Institutions
In this nutrition activity, learners explore food labels and consider the nutritional value of foods. Learners also explore units of measurement commonly used on food labels.

What Does Spit Do?
Source Institutions
Some animals can swallow food whole, but humans have to chew. In this activity, learners will investigate what saliva does chemically to food before we even swallow.

Energy Sources
Source Institutions
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.

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

In Proportion
Source Institutions
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.

Supermarket Science: The King Sooper Lab
Source Institutions
In this investigation, learners gather information on various food items during a field trip to a local grocery store.

Bendy Bones
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 19-24 of PDF), learners soak chicken bones or eggshells in vinegar for several days.

Do Plants Need Light?
Source Institutions
In this food science activity, learners conduct an experiment that demonstrates the importance of light to plants.

Science Cooks!
Source Institutions
In this health, cooking, and math activity, learners explore nutrition and examine nutrition labels.

Breathing Yeasties
Source Institutions
In this life science activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners explore the carbon cycle by mixing yeast, sugar and water.

Testing for Life's Molecules
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct tests for proteins, glucose, and starch.

Expose Your Nose
Source Institutions
In this simple exploratory activity (1st activity on the page), blindfolded learners try to identify mystery items by smell.

How Sweet It Is
Source Institutions
In this activity (4th activity on the page), learners use their sense of smell to rate and arrange containers filled with different dilutions of a scent (like cologne or fruit juice) in order from wea

Pom Pom Potential
Source Institutions
In this kinesthetic activity, learners move pom-pom "ions" across a membrane to simulate how an action potential is propagated along an axon.

What Goes Around Comes Around
Source Institutions
In this simulation activity, learners act as parts of the circulatory system and discover how it serves as a transport system for food/nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide and waste.

Mix and Match
Source Institutions
In this activity (7th activity on the page), learners use their sense of hearing to find a "sound match." Learners shake containers filled with items like dry seeds, sand, beans, etc.

Muscle Fibers
Source Institutions
In this activity about human anatomy (page 20 of PDF), learners investigate the structure of muscles by comparing yarn and cooked meat.

The Variety and Roles of Microbes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use sets of cards to assign microorganisms to different groups.
