A Funny Taste
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.

Dunking the Planets
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

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.

Jiggly Jupiter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build edible models of Jupiter and Earth to compare their sizes and illustrate the planets' internal layers.

Plenty on the Plains
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners compare the ways of life of Plains Native Americans who hunted and moved frequently to follow the buffalo herds, and Native Americans who farmed and lived in more permanent

Mapping Sea Level Rise
Source Institutions
In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.

The Thousand-Yard Model
Source Institutions
This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

Measuring and Protecting Skin
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners compare and contrast their own skin (including the area covered) with that of an orange.

Making Regolith
Source Institutions
This lesson will helps learners answer the question: How does the bombardment of micrometeoroids make regolith on the moon?

Solar System in My Neighborhood
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners shrink the scale of the vast solar system to the size of their neighborhood.

We all Scream for Ice Cream
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

How Boulders Are Born
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners review and discuss weathering, erosion and mass wasting, to gain a stronger understanding of how Hickory Run’s Boulder Field was formed after the Laurentide Continental Glac

Toast a Mole!
Source Institutions
In this quick activity, learners drink Avogadro's number worth of molecules - 6.02x10^23 molecules!

T. rex Cretaceous Treat
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make edible T. rex teeth (with adult assistance). The treat is a white and dark chocolate covered banana on a stick.

Soda Geyser
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off), learners will use the ever-popular soda geyser experiment to test the reactivity of the various sugar candies or mints.

Bury Me Not!
Source Institutions
This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Bogs) is a full inquiry investigation into decomposition.

Space Jell-O
Source Institutions
Albert Einstein proved that space bends around anything that has mass. This activity uses Jell-O's ability to bend around objects as a model for space bending around planets and stars.

Sustainable Fishing
Source Institutions
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.

Fossil Dig Site
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.
