In this activity, learners imagine the path their food takes from planting a seed, all the way to sitting on their kitchen counters. Explore concepts for each step food takes to reach your home.

In this activity, learners will experiment with salt and ice in order to turn a bag of ingredients into ice cream.

In this activity, learners will write a secret message that only their friends will be able to read.

In this activity, learners will conduct an experiment to discover methods of reventing foot mold growth on food.

In this activity, learners will explore the foods that are in their kitchen and what sugars are inside of them. Explore nutrition and food labels to better understand the foods you eat.

In this activity, learners will explore vegetative propagation while preparing food scraps to grow into plants.

When was the last time you took a really close look at a leaf? In this activity, learners will use leaves and simple materials to make colorful leaf rubbings.

In this activity, learners will use string and salt to lift an ice cube out of a glass of water. Salt depresses the freezing point of water, allowing it to melt around the string and refreeze.

In this activity, learners will turn healthy greens into crispy snacks. Explore concepts of nutrition, dehydration and cooking to create healthy food.

In this activity, learners will construct a device to blow bubbles. By adding corn syrup to the bubble solution, we can increase the surface tension of the bubbles--and their size.
