Design a Flavor: Experiment to Make Your Own Ice Cream Flavor!
Source Institutions
In this delicious activity, learners get to make, taste-test and compare their own "brands" of homemade strawberry ice cream.

Crunch and Munch Lab
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use three types of cheesy snacks--cheese balls, cheese puffs, and Cheetos--to learn about polymers.

Nano Ice Cream
Source Institutions
In this activity/demo, learners discover how liquid nitrogen cools a creamy mixture at such a rapid rate that it precipitates super fine grained (nano) ice cream.

Avi's Sensational Salt Dough
Source Institutions
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.

Liquid Body Armor
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how nanotechnology is being used to create new types of protective fabrics.

A Recipe for Air
Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.

Column Chromatography
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners separate the components of Gatorade using a home-made affinity column.

Exploring Fabrication: Gummy Capsules
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make self-assembled polymer spheres.

Molecular Menagerie
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use molecular model kits to construct familiar molecules like lactose, caffeine, and Aspirin.

Gummy Shapes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

ZOOM Glue
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mix milk, vinegar, baking soda, and water to create sticky glue. Use this activity to explain how engineers develop and evaluate new materials and products.

Plastic Milk: You can make plastic from milk
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make a plastic protein polymer from milk. Adding vinegar to milk causes the protein casein to solidify or curdle.

Potion Commotion
Source Institutions
In this hands-on science experiment, students combine their understanding of the different states of matter and the characteristics of various chemical reactions.

Soggy Science, Shaken Beans
Source Institutions
Learners explore soybeans, soak them in water to remove their coat, and then split them open to look inside. They also make a musical shaker out of paper cups, a cardboard tube, and soybeans.

Starch Breakdown
Source Institutions
Learners use Benedict’s solution and heat to test for the presence of simple sugars in glucose, sucrose, starch, and starch combined with amylase.

Breaking Up with Combustion
Source Institutions
This activity teaches combustion as the interaction of a fuel source and oxygen.

Investigating and Using Biomass Gases
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will be introduced to biomass gasification and will generate their own biomass gases.

Cleaning Water with Dirt
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Water in Our World), learners make their own water treatment systems for cleaning water.
Properties of Metals
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the properties of metals at four stations. The stations include A) Magnetism and Breakfast Cereal; B) Conductivity of Metals; C) Alloys; and D) Metal Plating.
