Make snack time into measuring time and learn to read Nutrition Facts labels. Try this when you’re using “pourable” foods, such as cereal, yoghurt, or juice.

In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners investigate how much sugar is in a soda. Learners use sugar cubes to measure and calculate the amount of sugar in a bottle of soda.

In this activity, learners create a battery from fruit. This activity helps learners explore electricity, electrochemistry, and series circuits as well as the process of scientific inquiry.

In this activity, learners measure the amount of carbon dioxide in a carbonated drink.

In this activity, Frankenstein's lab is running out of electricity! Learners use fruit to help Igor find a temporary source of energy to turn on a light.

In this quick activity, learners drink Avogadro's number worth of molecules - 6.02x10^23 molecules!

In this activity, learners of all ages can become food scientists by experimenting with flour and water to make basic pasta.

Learners investigate signs of a chemical reaction when they mix vinegar and baking soda. In addition to a gas being produced, learners also notice the temperature decreases.

In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Exercise and Memory), learners will investigate what happens to bubble gum when it is chewed for 5-10 minutes.

In this activity, learners build edible models of Jupiter and Earth to compare their sizes and illustrate the planets' internal layers.

In this activity, learners test the rate of ripening fruit and vegetables and use a chemical to inhibit the ripening process.

In this activity, learners investigate the process of osmosis by adding salt to a sealed bag of raw carrots and comparing it to a control.

Learners make kimchee or sauerkraut, which is really just fermented cabbage, in a 2-liter plastic bottle.

In this activity, learners cut wells in JELL-O© and load the wells with different detergent solutions.

In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

In this experiment, learners will conduct chemical and physical tests to identify mystery substances.

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted our society and how engineers have learned to explore the world at the nanoscale.

In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 1 of PDF), learners observe and quantify the growth of yeast when it is given table sugar as a food source.

In this activity, learners shrink the scale of the vast solar system to the size of their neighborhood.

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.
