In this activity, learners discover the principles of edible glass by making a supersaturated sugar solution.
Design and Build a Better Candy Bag
Source Institutions
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.
Why Does Food Spoil?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will conduct an experiment to discover methods of reventing foot mold growth on food.
Lost Labels
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners will conduct chemical and physical tests to identify mystery substances.
Whodunit?
Source Institutions
In this fascinating and fun experiment, learners use chemistry to identify a mystery powder and to solve a "crime," a process similar to that used by real forensic scientists.
Biochemistry Happens Inside of You!
Source Institutions
In this four-part activity, learners explore how the body works and the chemistry that happens inside living things.
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.
Fruit Juice Mystery
Source Institutions
In this chemistry challenge, learners work to figure out which of four juices are real, and which is just food coloring and sugar.
Investigating Starch
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 10-15), learners investigate starch in human diets and how plants make starch (carbohydrates) to use as their food source.
Fizzy Fun
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners test what happens when they put baking power on different frozen liquids.
Sink or Swim?
Source Institutions
Learners observe a tank of water containing cans of diet and regular sodas. The diet sodas float and the regular sodas sink. All the cans contain the same amount of liquid and the same amount of air.
What's So Special about Water: Solubility and Density
Source Institutions
In this activity about water solubility and density, learners use critical thinking skills to determine why water can dissolve some things and not others.
Chromatography
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners will separate a mixture of FD&C dyes (colors certified and allowed by the US for the Food, Pharmaceutical, Cosmetics & Personal Care industry) to practice
Cook with a Solar Oven
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make their own solar oven to bake s'mores and learn about how solar energy is absorbed on Earth.
What Does Spit Do?
Source Institutions
Some animals can swallow food whole, but humans have to chew. In this activity, learners will investigate what saliva does chemically to food before we even swallow.
Edible Ink
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners observe a chemical change. Learners write and reveal a secret message using edible ink.
Have Your DNA and Eat It Too
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build edible models of DNA, while learning basic DNA structure and the rules of base pairing.
Invisible Ink
Source Institutions
In this simple chemistry activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Colorblind Dogs) about acids and bases, learners will mix a baking soda and water solution and use it to paint a message on a
The Nose Knows!
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 9 of the PDF, learners test how flavoring extracts move through the walls of a balloon.
pHun with Cabbage
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners will test the pH of various foods and household substances using cabbage.
