In this quick activity, learners observe how the added sugar in a can of soda affects its density and thus, its ability to float in water.

In the kitchen, learners can perform their own density investigation.

In this activity, learners measure the amount of carbon dioxide in a carbonated drink.

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

In this activity, learners investigate the movement of water into and out of a polymer. Learners test the diffusion of water through gummy bears, which are made of sugar and gelatin (a polymer).

In this activity related to Archimedes' Principle, learners use water displacement to compare the volume of an expanded gummy bear with a gummy bear in its original condition.

Make snack time into measuring time and learn to read Nutrition Facts labels. Try this when you’re using “pourable” foods, such as cereal, yoghurt, or juice.

In this activity, learners burn a peanut, which produces a flame that can be used to boil away water and count the calories contained in the peanut.

Choose a recipe to double (or triple, quadruple, or halve). Show everyone the recipe and engage them in figuring out: How much will we need to increase the recipe to feed everyone?

In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a lemon slice appears to magically levitate within a pint glass.

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