Learners design their own experiment to determine which M&M color dissolves the fastest in water.

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

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 investigate whether having sugar already dissolved in water affects the speed of dissolving and the movement of sugar and color through the water.

In this activity, learners build models of atoms and molecules, then consider their role in different phases of matter, density, and mixtures and solutions.

In this activity, learners will discover why there are holes in bread.

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

In this physics activity, learners experiment with the attractive and repulsive power of magnets.

In this quick SciGirls activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Doghouse Design), learners will be introduced to the concept of thermal conductivity.

Learners work in groups to construct bridges using stale marshmallows and toothpicks.

Learners carefully pour vegetable oil, water, and corn syrup in any order into a cup and discover that regardless of the order they are poured, the liquids arrange themselves in layers the same way.

This is an activity that demonstrates how batteries work using simple household materials. Learners use a pickle, aluminum foil and a pencil to create an electrical circuit that powers a buzzer.

In this fun hands-on activity, learners whip up a batch of cyber-dough (play dough) using math for measurements.

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