Chromatography
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners will separate a mixture of FD&C dyes (colors certified and allowed by the US for the Food, Pharmaceutical, Cosmetics & Personal Care industry) to practice
Marshmallow Models
Source Institutions
No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.
Chocolate Lava
Source Institutions
In this yummy earth science activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners use fudge to learn about different kinds of lava.
Cook with a Solar Oven
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make their own solar oven to bake s'mores and learn about how solar energy is absorbed on Earth.
What Does Spit Do?
Source Institutions
Some animals can swallow food whole, but humans have to chew. In this activity, learners will investigate what saliva does chemically to food before we even swallow.
Double or More
Source Institutions
Choose a recipe to double (or triple, quadruple, or halve). Show everyone the recipe and engage them in figuring out: How much will we need to increase the recipe to feed everyone?
Cookie Surface Area
Source Institutions
This is an activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area to volume ratio.
M&M's in Different Sugar Solutions
Source Institutions
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.
Disappearing Colors
Source Institutions
In this challenge, learners figure out how to make a juice stain disappear.
Density Rainbow
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mix several sugar solutions to investigate the property of density. Each sugar solution has a different density and color of the rainbow.
Molecular Menagerie
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use molecular model kits to construct familiar molecules like lactose, caffeine, and Aspirin.
Spice World
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a map showing the origins of spices and herbs from a favorite recipe(s). Learners first research the origins of the ingredients and then locate them on a world map.
Space Jell-O
Source Institutions
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.
Everyday Poisons
Source Institutions
This reading and writing activity (on pages 2-9) teaches what plant parts should be avoided, how a person can get rid of toxins, symptoms of plant poisoning, and how plants create poisons to repel pre
Plant Parts You Eat
Source Institutions
In this food science activity, learners observe different plant-originated foods.
Milk Plastic
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners transform everyday milk into small plastic figurines and jewelry. Use this activity to introduce learners to monomers and polymers.
Wintergreen
Source Institutions
In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.
Cabbage Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners make an acid-base indicator using cabbage. Learners then explore how various subtances react with this indicator.
