In this hands-on activity, learners explore static electricity through the use of common household products. They also explore the connection between static electricity and cold weather.

Learners make a "menu" of any plants in their lunch for Monday through Friday and draw the plants from their lunch.

This is an activity about robotics programming. Learners will discover how precise programmers have to be as they instruct a friend to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

In this activity, learners thread gumdrops together to make a model of a polymer.

Learners analyze candy-coated sweets using chromatography. Learners use this method to separate the various dyes used to make colored candy.

Learners work as a group to create a map of their community. They use pasta to represent people, and glue the pasta on their maps to show areas of large population.

In this demonstration/activity, learners observe as a regular size marshmallow is blown through a tube made from a manila file folder.

In this activity, learners make a yeast-air balloon to get a better idea of what yeast can do. Learners discover that the purpose of leaveners like yeast is to produce the gas that makes bread rise.

This hands-on activity shows you how to build basic architectural shapes out of toothpicks and gumdrops.

In this activity, learners eat a snack and make a model of the plumbing system of a volcano.

Perform this classic inertia demonstration to illustrate the transfer of potential energy to kinetic energy.

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.

In this activity (page 7 of the PDF), learners will investigate the contents of owl pellets. Learners will discover how owls digest their food as well as the kind of animals they eat.
