Buckets of Popcorn
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners develop an understanding of cylinders and volume as they compare two sizes of popcorn buckets.

A Funny Taste
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.
Measuring Rules
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners create their own units of measurement by making noodle rulers. Learners practice estimating and measuring objects using the noodle rulers .

Adherence to HIV Treatment
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate taking HIV antiretroviral drugs by using Tic Tac mints and Kool-Aid packets.

Mold Growth
Source Institutions
In this activity learners observe mold growth on different types of bread by measuring and recording the growth rate.

Gummy Shapes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

Chew that Gum
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Exercise and Memory), learners will investigate what happens to bubble gum when it is chewed for 5-10 minutes.

A Recipe for Air
Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.

Radioactive Decay of Candium
Source Institutions
In this simulation, learners use M&M™ candy to explore radioactive isotope decay.

Frijolitos
Source Institutions
Esta actividad enseña la proporción y razón por hacer que los aprendices hagan "ensaladas" que combinan tres tipos de frijoles en tres combinaciones diferentes.
Breakfast Sweets
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners guess which cereals contain the most sugar. Learners use the nutrition labels on the cereal boxes to find the cereal with the least amount of sugar.

Exponential Models: Rhinos and M&M’s ®
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners model exponential decay and exponential growth using M&M's, paper folding, and African rhino population data.

Sweetly Balanced Equations
Source Institutions
In this (edible) activity, learners balance chemical equations using different kinds and colors of candy that represent different atoms. Learners will work in pairs and explore conservation of atoms.

Bake Sale
Source Institutions
This activity helps learners learn about math through a real-world scenario. Three friends are baking cookies for their school’s bake sale.
Special Snack: Budgeting for Health
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will plan a snack within a budget. With a $20 limit (theoretical) to spend on snack for everyone, learners look over grocery store circulars and make their shopping lists.

Mysterious M&M's
Source Institutions
Learners place an M&M candy in water and observe what happens. The sugar-and-color coating dissolves and spreads out in a circular pattern around the M&M.

Rate of Solution Demonstration
Source Institutions
In this chemistry demonstration, learners investigate the factors that increase the rate of dissolution for a solid.

Pea Brain!: Explorations in Estimation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use two different techniques to estimate how many little things fit into one bigger thing.
Are you a Supertaster?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine their tongue and taste buds.

Dye Like A Natural
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners stain fabrics--on purpose!
