Take the two-straw challenge and discover how pressure affects vacuums! In this activity, learners experiment with drinking through one and two straws, comparing the amount of liquid they can drink.

In this chemistry meets cooking activity, learners compare the stability of egg white foams with various additives.

In this hands-on activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners experiment with lemon juice and paper to create a message that can only be revealed using chemistry.

This fun video explains how to make a batch of oobleck (or slime) and why this special substance is known as a "non-Newtonian" fluid. Watch as Mr.

In this math lesson, learners rotate through six estimating and measuring centers. First, learners read the book, "Room for Ripley" by Stuart J.

Learners build a simple solar oven from a shoebox, black construction paper, and aluminum foil. Over the course of a few hours, the oven heats up water enough to brew tea.

Learners observe a bottle containing water and oil. They are invited to pick up the bottle and mix the contents together.

In this activity, learners use a flashlight, a glass of water, and some milk to examine why the sky is blue and sunsets are red.

In this Energy and Environment activity (page 9 of the PDF), learners calculate the mass of a piece of gum, compare it to the mass of the gum's packaging, and then create a bar graph of the results.

In this activity, learners experiment with the density of ice, water, and oil. Learners will discover that the density of a liquid determines whether it will float above or sink below another liquid.

In this chemistry activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will observe a chemical change, specifically what happens to iodine when it is applied to ripe and unripe apples.

In this activity, learners use edible models of the DNA molecule to transcribe an mRNA sequence, and then translate it into a protein.

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from yeast using simple materials.

Learners see that a carrot slice sinks in fresh water and floats in saltwater.

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.

In this activity, learners discover the primary physical properties used to separate pure substances from mixtures.

Learners design their own experiment to investigate whether the temperature of the surrounding water affects the rate at which the colored coating dissolves from an M&M.

In this activity, learners make slides of onion cells and their own cheek cells. Use this lab to teach learners how to prepare microscope slides and use a microscope.

In this activity, learners explore how nanotechnology is being used to create new types of protective fabrics.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.
