In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.

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.

This exercise is designed to teach young learners the different parts of a plant (root, stems, leaves, flowers, fruit, and seeds), the basic functions of each part, and to show that tiny microscopic o

In this activity, learners investigate the olfactory system by conducting several experiments.

In this nutrition and estimation activity (page 12 of PDF), learners estimate serving sizes of different foods and compare their estimates to serving size information provided on nutrition food labels

In this activity, learners drop impactors onto layers of graham crackers!

In this kinesthetic activity, learners move pom-pom "ions" across a membrane to simulate how an action potential is propagated along an axon.

In this activity about human anatomy (page 20 of PDF), learners investigate the structure of muscles by comparing yarn and cooked meat.

In this food science activity, learners conduct an experiment that demonstrates the importance of light to plants.

In this experiment, learners will conduct chemical and physical tests to identify mystery substances.

In this culinary activity, learners use multiple senses (sight, smell, touch, and taste!) to explore real seaweed samples.

In this activity, learners use a model for how fishing affects marine life populations, and will construct explanations for one of the reasons why fish populations are declining.

In this activity, learners use a microscope to examine three different microbes: bacteria, yeast and paramecia. Educator will need to prepare the yeast solution one day before the activity.

In this activity about food safety and nutrition, learners investigate safe food preparation by making fruit ice cream.

In this activity, learners count and measure kidney beans to explore natural selection and variation. Learners measure the length of 50-100 beans.

In this math lesson, learners are introduced to proportional reasoning through modeling, sharing, and questioning techniques.

In this activity, learners use edible models of the DNA molecule to transcribe an mRNA sequence, and then translate it into a protein.

In this activity, learners build edible models of DNA, while learning basic DNA structure and the rules of base pairing.

This guided inquiry three-part activity engages learners in thinking about the mechanism of natural selection through data collection and pattern recognition.

In this math lesson, learners use slices of bread and geoboards to explore several ways to divide a rectangle in half. Learners also identify equivalent fractions that represent one-half.
