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.
Rice Handle
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners attempt to lift a jar full of rice using only a spoon.
Instant Ice Cream
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make instant ice cream without using a freezer.
Checking For Starch
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will observe a chemical change, specifically what happens to iodine when it is applied to ripe and unripe apples.
DNA Extraction
Source Institutions
Learners use a simple process to extract DNA from strawberries.
Testing Falling Peanut Butter Sandwich Myth
Source Institutions
In this activity related to rotational inertia (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Microgravity), learners will use a bit of scientific experimenting to test if open-faced peanut butter sandwi
Future Moon: The Footsteps of Explorers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners drop impactors onto layers of graham crackers!
DNA Extraction from Wheat Germ
Source Institutions
DNA is the thread of life. Encoded in its genetic sequence is the information that makes each of us unique. This activity allows you to see long, stringy strands of DNA extracted from wheat germ.
In Proportion
Source Institutions
Through this nutrition activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will understand—and probably be surprised by—how big serving sizes of various foods should be.
Mystery Writing: Write and develop a secret message
Source Institutions
Learners write an invisible message using lemon juice on a piece of paper. They then develop the message by soaking the paper in a dilute iodine solution.
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.
Powder Particulars
Source Institutions
In this introductory activity and demonstration, learners are introduced to the concept that different substances react chemically in characteristic ways.
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.
Candy Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners test multiple food items to see if they are an acid or base using an indicator solution created with red cabbage.
Sticky Situation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners separate the protein from milk and and use it to make their own glue.
