In this activity, learners use things from the kitchen as building materials to explore how shapes contribute to the strength of different structures.

Learners observe a tank of water containing cans of diet and regular sodas. The diet sodas float and the regular sodas sink. All the cans contain the same amount of liquid and the same amount of air.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

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

Learners investigate an iron-fortified cereal by stirring it with a strong magnet. They discover that metallic iron is present in some cereals.

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 activity, learners of all ages can become food scientists by experimenting with flour and water to make basic pasta.

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

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 build models of comets, using edible materials, to learn about comets' structure.

In this activity (last activity on the page), learners make a model of the eardrum (also called the "tympanic membrane") and see how sound travels through the air.

In this matching activity (3rd activity on the page), learners use their sense of smell to match pairs of opaque containers filled with various smelly items like orange peel, roses, or moth balls.

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

In this activity, learners use chocolate to explore how the Sun transfers heat to the Earth through radiation.

In this online activity, learners experience the thrill of pickle making, and explore how a cucumber becomes a pickle.

Choose a recipe to double (or triple, quadruple, or halve). Show everyone the recipe and engage them in figuring out: How much will we need to increase the recipe to feed everyone?

In this chemistry demonstration, learners investigate the rule "likes dissolve likes" by combining three, immiscible liquids to create a colorful density column.

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

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.

In this activity, learners experiment with how dish soap and fat interact by making a colorful swirl.
