In this activity, learners make "solar cookies," edible models of the Sun's outer layers using sugar cookies and toppings.

This is a quick activity that shows how large amounts of rock and sediment are added to the edge of continents during subduction.

In this activity about olfaction (9th activity on the page), learners smell 10 different items with different odors, including some edible food items.

In this chemistry demonstration, learners investigate the factors that increase the rate of dissolution for a solid.

In this activity, learners explore the forces at work in water. Learners experiment to find out what happens to pepper in water when they touch it with bar soap and liquid detergent.

In this chemistry activity, learners use spaghetti to explore density and chemical reactions.

In this activity, learners use a flashlight, a glass of water, and some milk to examine why the sky is blue and sunsets are red.

This is an activity about robotics programming. Learners will discover how precise programmers have to be as they instruct a friend to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

In this science trick, learners get an egg to stand-up on its long-axis vertical to a table's top.

In this activity, learners model hot spot island formation, orientation and progression with condiments.

In this activity, learners will explore the chemistry of cooking. They will learn about--and observe--the Maillard Reaction as they make their own browned butter.

Learners combine hydrogen peroxide with three different forms of potato: raw chunks, ground chunks, and boiled chunks.

Molecular gastronomy is the scientific study of food preparation. Learners use self-assembly techniques to create edible capsules of chocolate syrup (food grade ingredients are required).

In this activity (4th activity on the page), learners test to see if saliva is necessary for food to have taste.

In this edible experiment, learners pour "Magic Shell" chocolate into a glass of cold water. They'll observe as pillow shaped structures form, which resemble lavas on the sea floor.

In this quick activity, learners drink Avogadro's number worth of molecules - 6.02x10^23 molecules!

In this physics demonstration, learners are challenged to insert a straw the furthest into a potato.

In this two-part activity, learners use household items to smell the difference between some stereoisomers, or molecules which are mirror images of one another.

In this activity, learners sublimate dry ice and then taste the carbon dioxide gas.

In this hands-on activity, learners make the world's simplest Cartesian diver, using only a plastic bottle, some water, and a condiment packet.
