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.

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.

In this genetics activity, learners extract DNA from an onion, using detergent solution, a food processor, and rubbing alcohol. They will also discuss genetic engineering of plants.

In this activity (located on pages 23-24 of the PDF), learners are introduced to structural engineering and encouraged to practice goal-oriented building.

This is an activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area to volume ratio.

This is an activity that demonstrates how batteries work using simple household materials. Learners use a pickle, aluminum foil and a pencil to create an electrical circuit that powers a buzzer.

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 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 make their own solar oven to bake s'mores and learn about how solar energy is absorbed on Earth.

In this math activity (Page 11 of the Dining Out! PDF), younger learners count out the total amount of money needed to purchase trail mix using the fewest number of bills/coins possible.

In this nutrition/food science activity, learners conduct an experiment and record data to compare the amount of fat in different foods.

In this food science activity, learners observe different plant-originated foods.

In this physics activity, learners experiment with the attractive and repulsive power of magnets.

In this simulation, learners act out each digestive function of the organs, tissues, and cells in the digestive tract.

In this activity (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.

In this activity, learners build one or more edible coral polyps and place them together to form a colony.

In this dynamic activity, learners build a catapult that launches projectiles, such as marshmallows.
