In this activity (located on pages 23-24 of the PDF), learners are introduced to structural engineering and encouraged to practice goal-oriented building.

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.

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.

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.

Learners set up three different bowls, each with a different mass of oatmeal. Learners monitor the temperature of the oatmeal and find that larger masses take longer to cool.

In this activity, learners explore engineering package designs that meet the needs of safely shipping a product.

In this activity, learners explore deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a nanoscale structure that occurs in nature.

In this chemistry activity, learners perform three chemical reactions in a sealed zip-top bag. Learners will record their observations and classify the changes as chemical or physical.

In this activity, learners discover the principles of edible glass by making a supersaturated sugar solution.

In this activity (1st activity on the page), learners explore their sense of taste and the structure of the tongue by taste-testing various foods.

In this activity, learners conduct a controlled experiment to examine how temperature will affect the height of a soda geyser.

In this activity, learners explore how product design differences can affect the success of a final product -- in this case a bag for holding candy.

In this nutrition activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will record their food consumption for one day, and then evaluate how their actual diet matched up with the recommended diet.

In this chemistry activity, learners use the lowered freezing point of water to chill another mixture (ice cream) to the solid state.

In this demonstration, cook a cake using the heat produced when the cake batter conducts an electric current.

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

In this chemistry activity, learners will separate a mixture of FD&C dyes (colors certified and allowed by the US for the Food, Pharmaceutical, Cosmetics & Personal Care industry) to practice

In this activity (4th activity on the page), learners use their sense of smell to rate and arrange containers filled with different dilutions of a scent (like cologne or fruit juice) in order from wea

In this activity, learners conduct a controlled experiment to examine how many Mentos are needed to make the tallest possible soda geyser.

In this activity, learners conduct a controlled experiment to examine which brand of soda makes the best (highest) soda geyser.
