In this activity, learners investigate the olfactory system by conducting several experiments.

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

Learners use a simple process to extract DNA from strawberries.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have developed big wheels or Ferris wheels.

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.

In this demonstration, learners observe how liquid nitrogen both boils and freezes ingredients to make ice cream in two minutes.

In this activity, learners explore engineering package designs that meet the needs of safely shipping a product.

In this nutrition and estimation activity (page 12 of PDF), learners estimate serving sizes of different foods and compare their estimates to serving size information provided on nutrition food labels

In this activity, learners explore the concept of permeability to better understand why amphibians are extremely sensitive to pollution.

In this math activity (Page 8 of the Dining Out! PDF), younger learners select items from a menu and count out the total amount needed using the fewest bills and coins possible.

In this activity, learners conduct tests for proteins, glucose, and starch.

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 drop impactors onto layers of graham crackers!

In this activity, learners explore deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a nanoscale structure that occurs in nature.

In this activity, learners discover that the Moon, like Earth, is made up of layers of different materials. Learners work in teams to make models of the interiors of the Moon and Earth.
