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

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 simulation, learners use M&M™ candy to explore radioactive isotope decay.

In this genetics activity, learners extract DNA from an onion, using detergent solution, a food processor, and rubbing alcohol. They will also discuss genetic engineering of plants.

In this activity, learners create a gelatinous slime using guar gum powder and borax. Educators can use this simple activity to introduce learners to colloids.

In this activity, learners will discover why there are holes in bread.

In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.

In this chemistry meets cooking activity, learners compare the stability of egg white foams with various additives.

In this simulation, learners act out each digestive function of the organs, tissues, and cells in the digestive tract.

Learners build structures from spaghetti and marshmallows to determine which structures are able to handle the greatest load.

In this demonstration, cook a cake using the heat produced when the cake batter conducts an electric current.

This is an activity that demonstrates how batteries work using simple household materials. Learners use a pickle, aluminum foil and a pencil to create an electrical circuit that powers a buzzer.

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

In this activity, learners will discover how to make butter from scratch. One optional tips includes adding marbles to speed up the process.

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

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 make their own solar oven to bake s'mores and learn about how solar energy is absorbed on Earth.

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.

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.
