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, 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, learners explore how product design differences can affect the success of a final product -- in this case a bag for holding candy.

Learners follow directions to construct a solar oven that really cooks! The solar oven uses aluminum foil to reflect sunlight into a cooking chamber, which is painted black.

Use this activity to build division and number sense into any snack time or whenever there is a limited set of things to share among a group: If we deal these out, could everyone get two pieces?

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

Learners work in groups to construct bridges using stale marshmallows and toothpicks.

In this activity, learners build one or more edible coral polyps and place them together to form a colony.

In this activity, learners use a model for how fishing affects marine life populations, and will construct explanations for one of the reasons why fish populations are declining.

In this Cyberchase activity, have fun measuring volumes and enjoy a delicious shake.

In this activity about olfaction (7th activity on the page), learners use natural ingredients to concoct their own perfume.

In this activity, learners will estimate how many seeds are in a fruit or vegetable, then count to find out. The result: mix estimation with healthy eating.

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

Using a milk-based recipe, learners create "moo glue" which is basically white school-type glue. The "secret ingredient" in milk that helps make glue is a chemical called casein.

Learners build structures from spaghetti and marshmallows to determine which structures are able to handle the greatest load.

In this math lesson, learners explore the relationship between the thickness of a spaghetti bridge, the length of the bridge, and the amount of weight that can be supported by the bridge.

In this math lesson, learners identify and compare unit costs of given items. Learners use computation skills, problem solving and number sense to find the cost of an ounce of cereal.

In this activity, learners use things from the kitchen as building materials to explore how shapes contribute to the strength of different structures.

Learners work as a group to create a map of their community. They use pasta to represent people, and glue the pasta on their maps to show areas of large population.

In this activity, learners count and measure kidney beans to explore natural selection and variation. Learners measure the length of 50-100 beans.
