In this activity, learners of all ages can enjoy experimenting with ice. Try this experiment at the kitchen table or in the great outdoors to encourage budding scientists to experiment with ice.

In this activity, learners explore what happens when polarized white light passes through a sugar solution.

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 quick activity, learners observe how the added sugar in a can of soda affects its density and thus, its ability to float in water.

In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Exercise and Memory), learners will investigate what happens to bubble gum when it is chewed for 5-10 minutes.

In this activity, learners touch supercooled water drops with an ice crystal and trigger the water drops to freeze instantly.

In this activity, learners add objects and substances to carbonated water to discover that added objects increase the rate at which dissolved gas comes out of solution.

In this activity, learners observe what happens when yeast cells are provided with a source of food (sugar). Red cabbage "juice" will serve as an indicator for the presence of carbon dioxide.

In this biology activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will explore how saliva assists in the beginning of the digestive process.

In this chemistry activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will learn about crystals by growing their very own.

In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 1 of PDF), learners observe and quantify the growth of yeast when it is given table sugar as a food source.

Learners analyze candy-coated sweets using chromatography. Learners use this method to separate the various dyes used to make colored candy.

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

Although we may not admit it, all humans fart or pass some gas. In this activity, learners make their own model to mimic food passing through intestines and discover what releases gas.

This lesson focuses on surface area and how the shape of sugar crystals may differ as they are grown from sugars of different coarseness.

In this chemistry activity (page 1 of the PDF), learners will observe a physical change.

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 on page 3 of the PDF, learners investigate how much sugar is in a soda. Learners use sugar cubes to measure and calculate the amount of sugar in a bottle of soda.

Each learner chews a piece of gum until it loses its flavor, and then leaves the gum to dry for several days.

In this activity about combustion and energy, learners observe a burning candle in a sealed jar and the burning of white sugar.
