In this activity, learners work in groups to design a parachute out of household items that keeps an egg secure when dropped from a certain height.

In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 5 of PDF), learners conduct an experiment to compare how much energy is released as heat from two different foods.

In this activity, learners separate the components of Gatorade using a home-made affinity column.

In this activity related to Archimedes' Principle, learners use water displacement to compare the volume of an expanded gummy bear with a gummy bear in its original condition.

In this open-ended multicultural lab activity, learners investigate the effectiveness of herbal remedies.

In this activity, learners explore atoms as the smallest building blocks of matter. With adult help, learners start by dividing play dough in half, over and over again.

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

In this activity, learners mix water, cooking oil, and liquid food coloring to create beautiful colored designs in a cup. Use this activity to explore liquid density and solubility.

In this delicious activity, learners get to make, taste-test and compare their own "brands" of homemade strawberry ice cream.

In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 1 of PDF), learners observe and quantify the growth of yeast when it is given table sugar as a food source.

In this chemistry meets cooking activity, learners compare the stability of egg white foams with various additives.

This lesson is designed to serve as an introduction to the immune system. It can stand alone or it can lead into further studies of the immune system.

This fun video explains how to make a batch of oobleck (or slime) and why this special substance is known as a "non-Newtonian" fluid. Watch as Mr.

In this quick activity, learners break the tension that happens when water develops a "skin." Learners use water, pepper and some soap to discover the wonders of surface tension—the force that attract

In this fascinating and fun experiment, learners use chemistry to identify a mystery powder and to solve a "crime," a process similar to that used by real forensic scientists.

In this activity (2nd activity on the page), learners explore how the nose is responsible for part of the flavor we taste in food.

This three-part lab helps learners understand the essential principles governing diffusion and osmosis.

In this edible experiment, learners pour "Magic Shell" chocolate into a glass of cold water. They'll observe as pillow shaped structures form, which resemble lavas on the sea floor.

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.
