Say Cheese!
Source Institutions
Create a chemical reaction that makes cheese! This hands-on activity demonstrates that molecules and atoms are tiny particles that make up everything around us.

Patterns and Relationships: Here, There & Everywhere
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners use a variety of sensory modalities to gain experiences with identifying, describing and creating repeating patterns.

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

Buckets of Popcorn
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners develop an understanding of cylinders and volume as they compare two sizes of popcorn buckets.

Mix and Match
Source Institutions
In this activity (7th activity on the page), learners use their sense of hearing to find a "sound match." Learners shake containers filled with items like dry seeds, sand, beans, etc.

Digit's Cyber-Dough
Source Institutions
In this fun hands-on activity, learners whip up a batch of cyber-dough (play dough) using math for measurements.
The Jelly Bean Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how their sense of smell affects their taste buds. Learners taste different flavored jelly beans while holding their nose.

M&M's in Different Temperatures
Source Institutions
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.
Measuring Rules
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners create their own units of measurement by making noodle rulers. Learners practice estimating and measuring objects using the noodle rulers .

Floating and Sinking Fruits and Veggies
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore the density of an object in water. Learners will compare what happens to fruits and vegetables in regular and salt water.

Nano Ice Cream
Source Institutions
In this activity/demo, learners discover how liquid nitrogen cools a creamy mixture at such a rapid rate that it precipitates super fine grained (nano) ice cream.

Gummy Shapes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

Amazing Marshmallows
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of air pressure. They will watch as marshmallows inside a bottle expand as a vacuum pump removes air from the bottle.

Plant Power
Source Institutions
In this chemistry challenge, learners identify which plants have the enzyme "catalase" that breaks hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

Making a Battery from a Potato
Source Institutions
In this electrochemistry activity, young learners and adult helpers create a battery from a potato to run a clock.

Erupting Fizz
Source Institutions
This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.

Protect That BRAIN!: Mr. Egghead
Source Institutions
This activity demonstrates the importance of wearing a helmet to protect the brain. An egg is used to symbolize a head with the shell as the skull and the inside of the egg as the brain.

Disappearing Colors
Source Institutions
In this challenge, learners figure out how to make a juice stain disappear.

Plenty on the Plains
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners compare the ways of life of Plains Native Americans who hunted and moved frequently to follow the buffalo herds, and Native Americans who farmed and lived in more permanent

One In The Hand
Source Institutions
In this physics demonstration, learners are challenged to break a raw egg just by squeezing it. Learners will be shocked by their inability to complete the deceivingly simple challenge.
