Make Your Own Slushies
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will make their own slushies and learn some of the science behind how the process works.
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.
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.
Wild Sourdough
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore chemistry and the microbial world by making their own sourdough starter and bread at home using only flour and water.
Vegetable Revival
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use food scraps from the kitchen to grow new vegetables.
Egg-Citing Physics
Source Institutions
In this demonstration about momentum, use physics to distinguish between a hard-boiled egg and a raw egg without cracking them open.
DNA Nanotechnology
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a nanoscale structure that occurs in nature.
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.
Peanut Butter and Jelly Robot
Source Institutions
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.
Potato Straw
Source Institutions
In this physics demonstration, learners are challenged to insert a straw the furthest into a potato.
Got Seaweed?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine the properties of different seaweeds, investigate what happens when powdered seaweed (alginate) is added to water, and learn about food products made with seaweed.
Making An Impact!
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.
Condiment Diver
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners make the world's simplest Cartesian diver, using only a plastic bottle, some water, and a condiment packet.
Be A Pasta Food Scientist
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners of all ages can become food scientists by experimenting with flour and water to make basic pasta.
What Does Spit Do?
Source Institutions
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.
Erupting Fizz
Source Institutions
This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.
The Thousand-Yard Model
Source Institutions
This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Constellations
Source Institutions
This chocolate chip cookie recipe includes templates for baking night sky constellations of the season right on top! Two templates are included, one for 9pm mid-April, and one for 10pm mid-July.
Exploring Fabrication: Gummy Capsules
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make self-assembled polymer spheres.
