In this food science activity, learners explore digestion and proteins by observing the action of meat tenderizer on luncheon meat.

In this fun hands-on activity, learners whip up a batch of cyber-dough (play dough) using math for measurements.

In this activity, learners explore what happens when polarized white light passes through a sugar solution.

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.

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

Learners investigate how temperature affects the rate of chemical reactions by observing how steel wool reacts with various types of Kool-Aid solutions at different temperatures.

In this engineering activity, learners investigate the differences between the strength of bridges made from flat and round building materials.

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 simulation, learners use M&M™ candy to explore radioactive isotope decay.

In this activity, learners mix several sugar solutions to investigate the property of density. Each sugar solution has a different density and color of the rainbow.

Using a milk-based recipe, learners create "moo glue" which is basically white school-type glue. The "secret ingredient" in milk that helps make glue is a chemical called casein.

Learners carefully look at four known household crystals.

This lesson gives full instructions for making cabbage juice indicator, a procedure sheet for learners to record observations as they use the indicator to test materials, and extension activities to d

In this yummy activity about soil (page 9 of PDF), learners will create layers of soil using food. They will learn about the composition and role of each layer.

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

In this activity, learners use things from the kitchen as building materials to explore how shapes contribute to the strength of different structures.

Learners work as a group to create a map of their community. They use pasta to represent people, and glue the pasta on their maps to show areas of large population.

Learners build structures from spaghetti and marshmallows to determine which structures are able to handle the greatest load.

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.

In this activity, learners follow a recipe to create play dough scented with fruit-flavored drink mix.
