Creating Tostadas
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners develop their understanding of combinations as they create as many different kinds of tostadas as possible.

Your Energy Needs
Source Institutions
In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 8 of PDF), learners estimate average daily baseline energy (Calorie) needs and energy needs for different levels of activity.

Shaving Cream Marbling
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create beautiful greeting cards by marbling with shaving cream and food dye. They will explore the chemistry behind the art of marbling.

Bury Me Not!
Source Institutions
This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Bogs) is a full inquiry investigation into decomposition.

Light Combinations
Source Institutions
In this activity about magnetism (page 17 of the pdf), learners experiment with magnets, exploring the concept of diamagnetic materials by seeing how a grape reacts to a magnetic field.

Pie-Pan Convection
Source Institutions
It's difficult to see convection currents in any liquid that's undergoing a temperature change, but in this Exploratorium Science Snack, you can see the currents with the help of food coloring.

Make Your Own Slushies
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will make their own slushies and learn some of the science behind how the process works.

Repulsive Grape: Diamagnetism
Source Institutions
Do grapes, yes the grapes from the grocery store, move in the presence of a very strong magnet?

Candy Dish Natural Selection
Source Institutions
In this yummy biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners participate in a demonstration of natural selection.

Bird Beaks
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate different types of bird beaks using household items which mimic different beak examples.

Egg-stra Strength
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners will investigate the strength of egg shells.

Push Me a Grape
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners experiment with the attractive and repulsive power of magnets.

Gumdrop Dome
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on pages 23-24 of the PDF), learners are introduced to structural engineering and encouraged to practice goal-oriented building.

Rock Candy
Source Institutions
In this yummy chemistry activity which requires adult supervision, learners use sugar and water to explore how crystals form.

Eggshell Inertia
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 14 of the PDF), learners gain a better understanding of how friction and mass affect objects by comparing the rotational inertia of raw and hard-boiled eggs.

Smell Match
Source Institutions
In this matching activity (3rd activity on the page), learners use their sense of smell to match pairs of opaque containers filled with various smelly items like orange peel, roses, or moth balls.

Edible Model of the Sun
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make "solar cookies," edible models of the Sun's outer layers using sugar cookies and toppings.

Scream for Ice Cream
Source Institutions
Don't scream for ice cream -- make it with milk, sugar, flavoring and some 'salt-water' ice. Discover the chemistry of ice cream by creating your own.

The Gator Pie Game
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore fractions as they help gators share pies.

Discovery Time: Trees
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore tree structure and biology. Tree products are explored by painitng with fruit.
