In this activity, learners make "solar cookies," edible models of the Sun's outer layers using sugar cookies and toppings.

In this activity, learners build models of atoms and molecules, then consider their role in different phases of matter, density, and mixtures and solutions.

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 environmental education demonstration (page 6 of the PDF), learners will see a tangible representation of the scarcity of soil resources on earth.

In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

In this activity, learners eat a snack and make a model of the plumbing system of a volcano.

In this activity, learners make their own edible DNA double helix out of candy and find out about the shape of DNA.

In this activity about engineering, nutrition, and physical activity, learners design and build a healthy bone model of a space explorer which is strong enough to withstand increasing amounts of weigh

In this activity, learners explore different types of fossils by making their out of dough and objects from around the house.

In this activity (on pages 34-39), learners make a fairly detailed model of DNA using licorice and gumdrops.

In this activity, learners build edible models of Jupiter and Earth to compare their sizes and illustrate the planets' internal layers.

In this activity, learners discover that the Moon, like Earth, is made up of layers of different materials. Learners work in teams to make models of the interiors of the Moon and Earth.

The Ancient Egyptians used a naturally-occurring salt from the banks of the Nile River, called natron, to mummify their dead.

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, learners make a model of the solid Earth's layers that's good enough to eat! Learners use tasty foodstuffs to simulate Earth's inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust.

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 activity, learners work in groups to design a parachute out of household items that keeps an egg secure when dropped from a certain height.

In this activity, learners separate the components of Gatorade using a home-made affinity column.

In this activity, learners explore atoms as the smallest building blocks of matter. With adult help, learners start by dividing play dough in half, over and over again.
