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 (located on pages 23-24 of the PDF), learners are introduced to structural engineering and encouraged to practice goal-oriented building.

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

In this activity, learners make a model of the solid Earth's layers that's good enough to eat! Learners use tasty foodstuffs to simulate Earth's inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust.

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

In this activity, learners build one or more edible coral polyps and place them together to form a colony.

In this activity (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a shock-absorbing system that will protect two “astronauts” when they land.

In this yummy activity about soil (page 9 of PDF), learners will create layers of soil using food. They will learn about the composition and role of each layer.

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

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

In this yummy earth science activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners use fudge to learn about different kinds of lava.

In this activity, learners use colored candy to represent subatomic particles and make a model of an atom (Bohr model).

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

Albert Einstein proved that space bends around anything that has mass. This activity uses Jell-O's ability to bend around objects as a model for space bending around planets and stars.

This hands-on activity shows you how to build basic architectural shapes out of toothpicks and gumdrops.

In this dynamic activity, learners build a catapult that launches projectiles, such as marshmallows.
