Changing the Density of a Liquid: Adding Salt
Source Institutions
Learners see that a carrot slice sinks in fresh water and floats in saltwater.

Creating Tostadas
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners develop their understanding of combinations as they create as many different kinds of tostadas as possible.

Color Changes with Acids and Bases
Source Institutions
Learners mix a variety of substances with red cabbage juice. The juice changes color to indicate whether each substance is an acid or a base.

Amphibian Skin
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of permeability to better understand why amphibians are extremely sensitive to pollution.

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.

The Snack Shop
Source Institutions
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.

Neutralizing Acids and Bases
Source Institutions
Learners use their knowledge of color changes with red cabbage indicator to neutralize an acidic solution with a base and then neutralize a basic solution with an acid.

The Gator Pie Game
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore fractions as they help gators share pies.
Piece It Together: Puzzle Hunt
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners follow clues to find five puzzle pieces, then assemble them. This activity works well with a whole group, individuals, or families.

Invisible Ink
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners experiment with lemon juice and paper to create a message that can only be revealed using chemistry.

Rock Candy
Source Institutions

Learners observe the outside and inside of raw chicken eggs, record descriptions, and hypothesize what will happen when a facilitator drops an egg on the floor.

Breakfast Proteins
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a cereal chain as a model of how proteins are made in the cell.

Eggshell Inertia
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 14 of the PDF), learners gain a better understanding of how friction and mass affect objects by comparing the rotational inertia of raw and hard-boiled eggs.

Protect That BRAIN!: Mr. Egghead
Source Institutions
This activity demonstrates the importance of wearing a helmet to protect the brain. An egg is used to symbolize a head with the shell as the skull and the inside of the egg as the brain.

In this physics activity, learners will investigate the strength of egg shells.

Plant Parts You Eat
Source Institutions
In this food science activity, learners observe different plant-originated foods.

Fungus Among Us
Source Institutions
In this environmental health activity, learners grow and observe bread mold and other kinds of common fungi over the course of 3-7 days.

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