In this activity related to plant biotechnology, learners extract DNA from fruit to investigate how it looks and feels.

In this activity, learners explore how to protect their skin while applying pesticides to plants.

In this activity, learners experiment with creating various types of bubble solutions and testing which ingredients form longer-lasting bubbles.

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners investigate ingredients that combine to produce gas bubbles.

In this activity, learners explore how the hull shape impacts a ship's performance and stability.

In this activity, learners create a "Jam Jar Jet" based on Francois Reynst's discovery of a pulsejet engine, which uses one opening for both air intake and exhaust.

In this electrochemistry activity, learners will explore two examples of electroplating.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Water Clean-up Activity) about the use of reduction agents to decontaminate ground water.

In this activity, learners work in groups to determine the mass and volume of four samples: glass marbles, steel washers or nuts, pieces of pine wood, and pieces of PVC pipe.

This is an activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area and reactivity.

In this activity, learners experiment with different variables in making hollandaise sauce to achieve the correct texture and consistency.

In this biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will explore how plants turn sunlight into food through a process called photosynthesis.

In this activity, learners explore how the power of the sun can be harnessed to heat and cool a building.

In this activity, learners explore sublimation by conducting experiments with dry ice.

As a model of acid rain, learners water plants with three different solutions: water only, vinegar only, vinegar-water mixture.

In this activity, learners explore phosphorescence and how certain materials can absorb and store energy from a light source.

In this activity, learners will design a protective package for an egg that will allow the egg to withstand a fall without cracking.

In this chemistry challenge, learners discover that many chemical reactions involve heat loss or gain.

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.

In this lesson, learners develop a robot arm using common materials. Learners explore design, construction, and teamwork, as well as materials selection and use.
