In this collection of demonstrations, learners explore Newton's Laws of Motion.

In this activity (7th activity on the page), learners use their sense of hearing to find a "sound match." Learners shake containers filled with items like dry seeds, sand, beans, etc.

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

In this activity, learners examine baking powder, a combination of three powders: baking soda, cream of tartar, and cornstarch.

Learners discover the bubble power of living cells in this multi-hour experiment with baker's yeast. Learners make a living yeast/water solution in a bottle, and add table sugar to feed the yeast.

In this activity (page 19 of the PDF) learners will create a soda bottle bioreactor by exploring the science of composting, comparing variables such as reactor design, moisture content, and nutrient r

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

In this nutrition activity, learners explore food labels and consider the nutritional value of foods. Learners also explore units of measurement commonly used on food labels.

In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

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.

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

In this fun, hands-on autumn activity, learners experiment to discover whether the colored substances in leaves can be separated from the leaves.

In this activity, learners make instant ice cream without using a freezer.

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 simple exploratory activity (1st activity on the page), blindfolded learners try to identify mystery items by smell.

In this chemistry activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will observe a chemical change, specifically what happens to iodine when it is applied to ripe and unripe apples.

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

Learners use a simple process to extract DNA from strawberries.

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 electrochemistry activity, young learners and adult helpers create a battery from a potato to run a clock.
