Fat is a very important component in our diet. It's the most efficient source of energy in our bodies, and plays an important role in the flavor of foods.

In this game, learners create flash cards with an image on one side (of an animal, for example) and the sound that animal makes on the other.

In this activity, learners create a simple “top” from a CD, marble and bottle cap, and use it as a spinning platform for a variety of illusion-generating patterns.

Learners are given mysterious white powders and have to determine their identity with chemical tests.

In this adapted version of poker, learners practice writing chemical formulas by playing this chemistry card game.

In this activity, learners of all ages will experiment with paint and printmaking.

Using pipe cleaners, straws, and beads, learners explore the building blocks of life by creating their own model of DNA.

In this activity (25th on the page) about learning and memory, learners explore a training method that animal trainers employ called "shaping." Working in pairs, learners will attempt to "shape" each

In this activity, learners will explore basic information about thermodynamics by experimenting with ice. Learners will compare ice melting rates on metal pans or plastic cutting boards.

Did you know that a Slinky makes a handy model of earthquake waves?

In this activity related to magnetism and electricity, learners discover that a magnet falls more slowly through a metallic tube than it does through a nonmetallic tube.

In this activity, learners will build an instrument from common household items. Explore sound through vibrations created by your vocal chords and captured by an instrument.

In this activity, learners will construct an air cannon as a model for the human ear.

In this activity learners will be creating art using a traditional Japanese art style.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to find out if steel wool will weigh more or less when it is burned. Learners will explore the effects of oxidation and rusting on the steel wool.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can explore means of physically separating a mixture using dissolving, filtration, and evaporation.

In this activity, learners build a scale model of the solar system using a roll of toilet paper.

In this activity related to computer programming, learners give directions to a "robot" (either an adult or another learner) and find out which instructions the robot is able to follow, and how their
