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

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

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

In this activity, learners will discover why there are holes in bread.

In this activity, learners discover the principles of edible glass by making a supersaturated sugar solution.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make a plastic protein polymer from milk. Adding vinegar to milk causes the protein casein to solidify or curdle.

In this activity, learners shrink the scale of the vast solar system to the size of their neighborhood.

In this life science activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners explore the carbon cycle by mixing yeast, sugar and water.

In this activity, learners use three types of cheesy snacks--cheese balls, cheese puffs, and Cheetos--to learn about polymers.

In this chemistry activity, learners will separate a mixture of FD&C dyes (colors certified and allowed by the US for the Food, Pharmaceutical, Cosmetics & Personal Care industry) to practice

In this activity, learners build models of comets, using edible materials, to learn about comets' structure.

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.

Make your own mummy! Using a combination of salts, transform an apple into a mummy and discover how the Ancient Egyptians used drying as one step in the mummification process.

In this activity about combustion and energy, learners observe a burning candle in a sealed jar and the burning of white sugar.

In this demonstration, adult learners create a lava lamp using beer and nuts! Use this pub-themed activity to demonstrate the effects of buoyancy and bubbles.
