In this activity, learners explore how ordinary marshmallows expand when heated in a microwave.

In this activity, learners will make their own slushies and learn some of the science behind how the process works.

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 chemistry demonstration, learners investigate the factors that increase the rate of dissolution for a solid.

In this chemistry activity, learners perform three chemical reactions in a sealed zip-top bag. Learners will record their observations and classify the changes as chemical or physical.

In this four-part activity, learners explore how the body works and the chemistry that happens inside living things.

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

In this activity, learners explore the properties of metals at four stations. The stations include A) Magnetism and Breakfast Cereal; B) Conductivity of Metals; C) Alloys; and D) Metal Plating.

In this a hands-on activity, learners explore how to put ice cream in an oven without it melting. Ideas in this activity include insulation and cooking.

In this activity, learners discover how gelatin can be used as a medium for drug delivery. Learners create colored gelatin and then cut out pieces of the gelatin to simulate medicine (pills).

In this activity, learners burn a peanut, which produces a flame that can be used to boil away water and count the calories contained in the peanut.

In this activity, learners will be introduced to biomass gasification and will generate their own biomass gases.

In this chemistry activity, learners use the lowered freezing point of water to chill another mixture (ice cream) to the solid state.

In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a lemon slice appears to magically levitate within a pint glass.

In this demonstration, cook a cake using the heat produced when the cake batter conducts an electric current.

This lesson focuses on surface area and how the shape of sugar crystals may differ as they are grown from sugars of different coarseness.

In this activity, learners make their own solar oven to bake s'mores and learn about how solar energy is absorbed on Earth.

In this activity on page 6 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners investigate yeast. Learners prepare an experiment to observe what yeast cells like to eat.

In this fun hands-on activity, learners use simple materials to investigate evaporation. How can the evaporation of water on a hot day be used to cool an object? Find out the experimental way!

In this activity on page 5 of the PDF, learners mimic the process for making bricks. Learners shape and bake creations from a dough that is made from flour, salt, and water.
