Wheat Evolution: Sedimentation Testing
Source Institutions
In this activity (Page 30 of PDF), learners investigate the evolution of wheat by conducting sedimentation tests on different flours.

Rainbow Density Experiment
Source Institutions
In this colorful activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will make a multicolor density column by using different concentrations of sugar solutions.

Plant Power
Source Institutions
In this chemistry challenge, learners identify which plants have the enzyme "catalase" that breaks hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

Nano Ice Cream
Source Institutions
In this activity/demo, learners discover how liquid nitrogen cools a creamy mixture at such a rapid rate that it precipitates super fine grained (nano) ice cream.

Rice Handle
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners attempt to lift a jar full of rice using only a spoon.

Candy Dish Natural Selection
Source Institutions
In this yummy biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners participate in a demonstration of natural selection.

Homemade Butter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will turn cream and salt into butter—using marbles. Learners will explore how shaking up fat globules help them create homemade butter.

Instant Ice Cream
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make instant ice cream without using a freezer.

Single Serving Volcanism
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners eat a snack and make a model of the plumbing system of a volcano.

Extruding
Source Institutions
This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can explore the process of extrusion used to produce pipes and wires in industry.

Making a Battery from a Potato
Source Institutions
In this electrochemistry activity, young learners and adult helpers create a battery from a potato to run a clock.

Future Moon: The Footsteps of Explorers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners drop impactors onto layers of graham crackers!

Glowing Pickle
Source Institutions
In this activity, high voltage is applied across a pickle to emit a yellow glow. This activity should only be conducted by skilled adults and is best suited as a demonstration.

In Proportion
Source Institutions
Through this nutrition activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will understand—and probably be surprised by—how big serving sizes of various foods should be.

Fruit Juice Mystery
Source Institutions
In this chemistry challenge, learners work to figure out which of four juices are real, and which is just food coloring and sugar.

Got Seaweed?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine the properties of different seaweeds, investigate what happens when powdered seaweed (alginate) is added to water, and learn about food products made with seaweed.

Burn a Peanut
Source Institutions
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.

T. rex Cretaceous Treat
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make edible T. rex teeth (with adult assistance). The treat is a white and dark chocolate covered banana on a stick.

What's So Special about Water: Solubility and Density
Source Institutions
In this activity about water solubility and density, learners use critical thinking skills to determine why water can dissolve some things and not others.

Applesauce
Source Institutions
In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity from Episode 109: The Perfect Pancake, learners make applesauce to explore irreversible change.
