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

In this activity (25th on the page) about learning and memory, learners explore a training method that animal trainers employ called "shaping." Working in pairs, learners will attempt to "shape" each

In this activity, learners construct drums out of everyday containers (like bowls or food containers) and shrink wrap. Learners use a hair dryer to affix and tighten the shrink wrap to the container.

In this activity on page 2 of the PDF, learners discover how color changes can help scientists distinguish between acids and bases.

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.

In this activity (p.3-4 of PDF), learners learn about disease transmission and antibiotic resistance.

This activity helps learners learn about math through a real-world scenario. Three friends are baking cookies for their school’s bake sale.

Learners place an M&M candy in water and observe what happens. The sugar-and-color coating dissolves and spreads out in a circular pattern around the M&M.

Learners mix a variety of substances with red cabbage juice. The juice changes color to indicate whether each substance is an acid or a base.

Just like birds, some dinosaurs had air-filled (pneumatic) bones, which made the dinosaurs' skeletons lighter.

In this activity (Page 22 of PDF), learners investigate the evolution of wheat by washing different types of dough with water and comparing the results.

In the related activity called "Colors Collide or Combine," learners are intrigued by the apparent "line" that forms where colors from M&M coatings meet but do not mix.

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.

In this activity, learners test what happens when they put baking power on different frozen liquids.

In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a lemon slice appears to magically levitate within a pint glass.

In this construction activity, students use a 2-liter bottle to build a fly trap.

In some parts of the world, lakes freeze during winter. In this activity learners will explore water’s unique properties of freezing and melting, and how these relate to density and temperature.

In this activity on page 5 of the PDF, learners mimic the process for making bricks. Learners shape and bake creations from a dough that is made from flour, salt, and water.

In this math activity (Page 11 of the Dining Out! PDF), younger learners count out the total amount of money needed to purchase trail mix using the fewest number of bills/coins possible.

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