Who knew that learning about the states of matter could taste so sweet? This fun hands-on lesson captures the attention of learners as they use what they know about solids, liquids, and gases to create their very own batch of ice cream.

Students are introduced to the laws of thermodynamics. The 1st law of thermodynamics states that the energy must be conserved when two objects of different temperatures come in contact. If one object gains energy, the other object must...

Where does the pop in pop rocks come from? An engaging activity asks scholars to measure the amount of carbon dioxide in a package of Pop Rocks candy. Learners dissolve the candy in water and use the solubility of CO2 to determine its mass.

Students are told that objects in contact with one another reach an equilibrium temperature. A hot object placed in a cool liquid always cool off. It never happens that the object gets hotter and cool liquid gets colder. Students predict...

Young scholars observe the effect of heat and pressure on materials representing those involved in the formation of coal.

Learners investigate soap, how it is made and its structure. For this soap lesson, students observe a demonstration of soap being made. Learners observe the properties of soap and how soap performs in "real-life" situations like cutting...

Young scientists or chefs culture yeast to produce yogurt. The materials and a general description of how make yogurt are provided, but there is very little detail otherwise. You could use this as an activity when your biology class is...

First graders create ice cream in class.  In this matter lesson, 1st graders discover solids, liquids and gases and the properties of each.  Students produce a batch of ice cream in class using household items.

Students are introduced to igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. They use foods to demonstrate the basic formation of each type of rock, read books about rock formation and view related videos.

Fourth graders complete a variety of experiments to meet science goals.  In this life sciences lesson, 4th graders make yogurt, discover the attraction of opposite charges in electricity, learn the effects of glaciers, and explore...

Students explore the history of the Industrial Revolution and how it preceded the development of many modern innovations. They research the history of many modern appliances and decide how they rely on these conveniences everyday.

Students investigate basic engineering principles, road construction and material science through a unique and fun hands-on activity.

Students work together to complete an experiment making yogurt. They test different temperatures and different amount of ingredients. They record and analyze their data.
