In this activity (on page 2 of PDF under GPS: Roller Coaster Design Activity), learners will use food cans of many different properties (sizes, shapes, and weights) and set two cans on their sides at

Learners set up three different bowls, each with a different mass of oatmeal. Learners monitor the temperature of the oatmeal and find that larger masses take longer to cool.

In this activity, Frankenstein's lab is running out of electricity! Learners use fruit to help Igor find a temporary source of energy to turn on a light.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have developed big wheels or Ferris wheels.

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

In this cooperative learning activity, learners visit ten stations and are challenged to think critically about various conservation questions and issues.

In this activity, learners observe what happens when yeast cells are provided with a source of food (sugar). Red cabbage "juice" will serve as an indicator for the presence of carbon dioxide.

In this activity, learners create an electrical circuit and investigate how some dissolved substances conduct electricity.

In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 8 of PDF), learners estimate average daily baseline energy (Calorie) needs and energy needs for different levels of activity.

In this food science activity, learners conduct an experiment that demonstrates the importance of light to plants.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Body Electricity Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into conductivity.

In this activity, learners conduct a controlled experiment to examine how temperature will affect the height of a soda geyser.

In this activity, learners explore trebuchet design. Teams of learners construct trebuchets from everyday materials.

In this nutrition activity (page 26 of PDF), learners consider the nutritional needs of people with specific dietary requirements, such as athletes, persons with diabetes and vegetarians, and create a

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 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 design challenge activity, learners build a shock-absorbing system that will protect two “astronauts” when they land.

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

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 conduct a controlled experiment to examine how many Mentos are needed to make the tallest possible soda geyser.
