In this activity, learners create a necklace of wheat germ DNA. Learners add alcohol to wheat germ so that the DNA clumps together.

Learners combine hydrogen peroxide with three different forms of potato: raw chunks, ground chunks, and boiled chunks.

In this chemistry meets cooking activity, learners make carbonated, vanilla ice cream using dry ice and denatured ethanol, which are both inexpensive and accessible.

In this collection of demonstrations, learners explore Newton's Laws of Motion.

In this quick activity, learners observe how the added sugar in a can of soda affects its density and thus, its ability to float in water.

In this chemistry demonstration, learners investigate the rule "likes dissolve likes" by combining three, immiscible liquids to create a colorful density column.

This activity demonstrates the importance of wearing a helmet to protect the brain. An egg is used to symbolize a head with the shell as the skull and the inside of the egg as the brain.

In this demonstration about momentum, use physics to distinguish between a hard-boiled egg and a raw egg without cracking them open.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of permeability to better understand why amphibians are extremely sensitive to pollution.

In this introductory activity and demonstration, learners are introduced to the concept that different substances react chemically in characteristic ways.

This activity about density provides instructions for making a miniature "lava lite" with just salt, oil, water, and food coloring.

In this activity that can be used as a lab or demonstration, learners use Lactaid® and lactose to demonstrate the concept of enzyme action.

In this activity, learners discover that as the salinity of water increases, the density increases as well. Learners prove this by attempting to float fresh eggs in saltwater and freshwater.

This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.

In this activity, learners make optical fibers out of strips of gelatin.

In this playful activity, learners explore the structure of the cell—the basic unit of every living organism—by creating a model of cell structures using soap bubbles, and by examining a slice of onio

In this activity about combustion and energy, learners observe a burning candle in a sealed jar and the burning of white sugar.

In this activity, learners use chocolate to explore how the Sun transfers heat to the Earth through radiation.

Learners observe and conduct experiments demonstrating the different properties of hot and cold materials.

In this activity, learners explore what happens when polarized white light passes through a sugar solution.
