In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 1 of PDF), learners observe and quantify the growth of yeast when it is given table sugar as a food source.

In this yummy chemistry activity which requires adult supervision, learners use sugar and water to explore how crystals form.

In this chemistry meets cooking activity, learners compare the stability of egg white foams with various additives.

This lesson is designed to serve as an introduction to the immune system. It can stand alone or it can lead into further studies of the immune system.

This fun video explains how to make a batch of oobleck (or slime) and why this special substance is known as a "non-Newtonian" fluid. Watch as Mr.

In this quick activity, learners break the tension that happens when water develops a "skin." Learners use water, pepper and some soap to discover the wonders of surface tension—the force that attract

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.

This three-part lab helps learners understand the essential principles governing diffusion and osmosis.

In this edible experiment, learners pour "Magic Shell" chocolate into a glass of cold water. They'll observe as pillow shaped structures form, which resemble lavas on the sea floor.

In this fun and delicious chemistry activity (page 1 of the PDF), learners will explore the difference between physical and chemical change by making homemade ice cream.

In this hands-on science experiment, students combine their understanding of the different states of matter and the characteristics of various chemical reactions.

Learners grow sugar crystals (rock candy). They make a hot solution that has an excess of sugar dissolved in it, then as the solution cools, they see sugar crystals form.

In this chemistry activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make a layered drink with liquids of different densities.

In the related activity called "Colors Collide or Combine," learners are intrigued by the apparent "line" that forms where colors from M&M coatings meet but do not mix.

In this four-part activity, learners explore how the body works and the chemistry that happens inside living things.

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

Learners write an invisible message using lemon juice on a piece of paper. They then develop the message by soaking the paper in a dilute iodine solution.

Using a milk-based recipe, learners create "moo glue" which is basically white school-type glue. The "secret ingredient" in milk that helps make glue is a chemical called casein.

Learners build structures from spaghetti and marshmallows to determine which structures are able to handle the greatest load.

In this chemistry challenge, learners work to figure out which of four juices are real, and which is just food coloring and sugar.
