Soup Can Derby
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 2 of PDF under GPS: Roller Coaster Design Activity), learners will use food cans of many different properties (sizes, shapes, and weights) and set two cans on their sides at

M&M's in Different Temperatures
Source Institutions
Learners design their own experiment to investigate whether the temperature of the surrounding water affects the rate at which the colored coating dissolves from an M&M.

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

Temperature Affects the Solubility of Gases
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners heat and cool carbonated water to find out whether temperature has an effect on how fast the dissolved gas leaves carbonated water.

A Dissolving Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners add objects and substances to carbonated water to discover that added objects increase the rate at which dissolved gas comes out of solution.

Temperature vs. Height: Soda Geyser Series #6
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a controlled experiment to examine how temperature will affect the height of a soda geyser.

Racing M&M Colors
Source Institutions
Learners design their own experiment to determine which M&M color dissolves the fastest in water.

Number of Mentos vs. Height: Soda Geyser Series #5
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a controlled experiment to examine how many Mentos are needed to make the tallest possible soda geyser.

Soda Brand vs. Height Experiment: Soda Geyser Series #4
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a controlled experiment to examine which brand of soda makes the best (highest) soda geyser.

M&M's in Different Sugar Solutions
Source Institutions
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.

Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor?
Source Institutions
Each learner chews a piece of gum until it loses its flavor, and then leaves the gum to dry for several days.

Temperature Affects Dissolving
Source Institutions
Learners design their own experiment to compare how well cocoa mix dissolves in cold and hot water. They will see that cocoa mix dissolves much better in hot water. Adult supervision recommended.
