This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from onion cells using simple materials.

In this challenge, learners figure out how to make a juice stain disappear.

In this (edible) activity, learners balance chemical equations using different kinds and colors of candy that represent different atoms. Learners will work in pairs and explore conservation of atoms.

Just like birds, some dinosaurs had air-filled (pneumatic) bones, which made the dinosaurs' skeletons lighter.

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

In this activity, learners use two different techniques to estimate how many little things fit into one bigger thing.

In this activity, learners will develop a method to test five similar-looking powders (baking soda, baking powder, cream of tartar, detergent, and cornstarch) with four test liquids (water, vinegar, i

In this activity, learners examine their tongue and taste buds.

In this activity, learners stain fabrics--on purpose!

In this activity, learners make their own rock candy. Crystals will grow from a piece of string hanging in a cup of sugar water. The edible crystals may take up to a week to form.

In this activity on page 9 of the PDF, learners test how flavoring extracts move through the walls of a balloon.

In this activity, learners create a battery from fruit. This activity helps learners explore electricity, electrochemistry, and series circuits as well as the process of scientific inquiry.

In this activity, learners mix several sugar solutions to investigate the property of density. Each sugar solution has a different density and color of the rainbow.

In this investigation, learners gather information on various food items during a field trip to a local grocery store.

In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners investigate how much sugar is in a soda. Learners use sugar cubes to measure and calculate the amount of sugar in a bottle of soda.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners conduct an experiment to get an idea of how cheese is made.

In this activity, learners create a "mini sky" in a glass of water in a dark room.

In this activity, learners explore how eating unhealthy food can damage a heart and arteries.

In this introductory activity and demonstration, learners are introduced to the concept that different substances react chemically in characteristic ways.

Each learner chews a piece of gum until it loses its flavor, and then leaves the gum to dry for several days.
