In this chemistry activity, learners use spaghetti to explore density and chemical reactions.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Body Electricity Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into conductivity.

In this activity on page 6 of the PDF (Chemistry—It’s Elemental), learners explore some of the properties of copper using a few common household ingredients.

In this biology activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will explore how saliva assists in the beginning of the digestive process.

In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.

In this science trick, learners get an egg to stand-up on its long-axis vertical to a table's top.

In this activity, learners model hot spot island formation, orientation and progression with condiments.

In this activity, learners thread gumdrops together to make a model of a polymer.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners investigate the solubility of gas in water at different temperatures. This experiment will help learners determine if temperature affects solubility.

In this activity, learners build a simple solar oven out of household materials to melt chocolate and marshmallow between graham crackers--known as s'mores.

In this activity, learners test the pH of safe liquids available at home by creating a pH indicator from mashed blueberries.

In this quick SciGirls activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Doghouse Design), learners will be introduced to the concept of thermal conductivity.

In this optics activity, learners explore how they can make gelatin stop light, but not stop them from seeing fruit suspended within.

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

In this activity, learners use marshmallows and gum drops to construct seven models of molecules. Learners classify (solid, liquid or gas) and draw diagrams of the molecules.

In this chemistry activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will learn about crystals by growing their very own.

In this chemistry activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will see that chewing is more than just the crushing up of food; there is actually a chemical change going on at the same time.

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

Learners make their own acid-base indicator from red cabbage. They use this indicator to test substances around the house.

In this nutrition activity (page 26 of PDF), learners consider the nutritional needs of people with specific dietary requirements, such as athletes, persons with diabetes and vegetarians, and create a
