In this three-part activity, learners use food to determine the effects of wind, sandblasting and water on regolith (dust) formation and deposition on Earth.

In this activity about water solubility and density, learners use critical thinking skills to determine why water can dissolve some things and not others.

In this math lesson, learners are introduced to proportional reasoning through modeling, sharing, and questioning techniques.

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

In this introductory activity, learners discover that sugar and food coloring dissolve in water but neither dissolves in oil.

In this outdoor activity, learners find out the color of food that jays prefer and then try to change the birds' preference by altering the taste of the food with salt.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Self-Assembly Activity) about self-assembly, the ability of molecules to assemble themselves according to certain rules.

This lesson focuses on surface area and how the shape of sugar crystals may differ as they are grown from sugars of different coarseness.

In this activity, learners build models of comets, using edible materials, to learn about comets' structure.

In this activity, learners build edible models of DNA, while learning basic DNA structure and the rules of base pairing.

In this activity (on pages 19-24 of PDF), learners soak chicken bones or eggshells in vinegar for several days.

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

In this activity, learners design a crushing test and discover that identifying and controlling the variables may be difficult.

In this math activity, learners guess which cereals contain the most sugar. Learners use the nutrition labels on the cereal boxes to find the cereal with the least amount of sugar.

This is an activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area to volume ratio.

In this activity, learners investigate whether having sugar already dissolved in water affects the speed of dissolving and the movement of sugar and color through the water.

In this activity (p.3-4 of PDF), learners learn about disease transmission and antibiotic resistance.

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

In this activity, learners use two different techniques to estimate how many little things fit into one bigger thing.

In this activity, learners create a battery from fruit. This activity helps learners explore electricity, electrochemistry, and series circuits as well as the process of scientific inquiry.
