In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners follow a recipe to make a dough similar to the clay artists use to make sculptures.

In this activity (on page 2 of PDF under GPS: Roller Coaster Design Activity), learners will use food cans of many different properties (sizes, shapes, and weights) and set two cans on their sides at

In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.

In this activity, learners discover that as the salinity of water increases, the density increases as well. Learners prove this by attempting to float fresh eggs in saltwater and freshwater.

In this quick activity, learners observe how the added sugar in a can of soda affects its density and thus, its ability to float in water.

In this activity, learners experiment with different variables in making hollandaise sauce to achieve the correct texture and consistency.

In this activity, learners explore how ordinary marshmallows expand when heated in a microwave.

In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Exercise and Memory), learners will investigate what happens to bubble gum when it is chewed for 5-10 minutes.

In this activity, learners investigate diffusion by creating underwater "fireworks" using food coloring, oil and water.

In this chemistry activity, learners are asked to form a hypothesis about the behavior of milk as household detergents act upon it.

In this simulation, learners use M&M™ candy to explore radioactive isotope decay.

In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

Learners set up three different bowls, each with a different mass of oatmeal. Learners monitor the temperature of the oatmeal and find that larger masses take longer to cool.

In the kitchen, learners can perform their own density investigation.

In this activity, learners experiment with the density of ice, water, and oil. Learners will discover that the density of a liquid determines whether it will float above or sink below another liquid.

In this activity, learners cook amino acids and sugar to explore the range of aromas released.

In this activity, learners follow a recipe to make hollandaise sauce. Learners discover how cooks use egg yolks to blend oil and water together into a smooth mix.

In this activity, learners measure the amount of carbon dioxide in a carbonated drink.

In this activity, learners explore engineering package designs that meet the needs of safely shipping a product.

In this quick activity/demonstration about density, learners examine what happens when two cans of root beer--one diet and one regular--are placed in a large container of water.
