Mapping and Excavating a Jello Mold
Students simulate how archaeologists excavate sites by "searching" their own site in the form of a Jello mold. They use a grid to map the objects in the Jello mold as well as looking at three layers of Jello to understand stratigraphy...

Space Jell-O
A tasty treat lends its curious substance to space exploration. Mimicking the discoveries of Albert Einstein, young astronomers beginning by making a batch of Jello-O, then four hours later, scholars place edible objects that act like...

Mapping and Excavating a Jello Mold
Fifth graders, in groups, map the three layers of different colored jello layers in molds and note the placement of fruit in them. On the grid paper they draw each grape, raisin, or other object and carefully remove each layer. After...

Volcano Models
More than 80 percent of the earth's surface originated from volcanoes. The 16th instructional activity in a 20-part series introduces the shape and development of volcanoes. It begins with a demonstration using a balloon and flour to...
Curated OER
Enzyme Labs Using Jello
Students test for the presence of enzymes in fruit and the specificity of those enzymes, as well as to identify and show the susceptibility of enzymes to certain environmental factors (temperature and pH) originating in the enzyme's...
Curated OER
Jello Cells
Students create a three dimensional model of a cell. For this cellular structure lesson, students use gelatin, plastic bags, plastic containers, and fruit to construct a model of a cell. They compare the cells structures and stack them...
Curated OER
Odd Ones Out
Some of these words don't rhyme; scholars determine which ones as they examine four sets of images with the vowel sound /e/. For each set, they circle the words that don't rhyme with the first image. Be sure kids know what these images...

What Are Cells?
Energize the cells of young biologists with an edible life science activity. Engaging students in exploring the inner workings of plant and animal cells, this activity involves using colored jello and various sweet and tasty treats to...

The Ratio of Surface Area to Volume
Demonstrate the ratio of surface area to volume in your high school class by using phenolphthalein, gelatin, and an onion. Intrigue the class by leading a discussion on osmosis and diffusion, then making "scientific jello." Participants...

Measure the Width in Meters
Three pairs of objects are measured against rows of squares, each of which represents a meter of length. Scholars "measure" the objects based on these units, circling the one that is larger. One thing to note here is that this doesn't...
Curated OER
Filter Flutters
Students create a butterfly out of a coffee filter. In this art lesson, students use jello powder in a cup and dip the butterfly in the cup making it look tie dyed.
Curated OER
Jello Cells
Students describe the cell as a 3D object rather than the 2D object they are accustomed to observing. They describe the appearance and location within the cell of the various cell organelles.
Curated OER
Leprechaun Dust
Learners make "leprechaun dust" in this short art activity using Jello instant pistachio pudding, small jars, milk, and spoons. Ideal for celebrating St. Patrick's Day with early-elementary students. Can be combined with the reading of a...
Curated OER
Math, Chemistry, and Food
Pupils explore the effects of chemical reactions when cooking. Using the Internet, they research enzymes and then mix jello. They examine their results and test enzyme activity by adding pineapple to the jello. Finally, they test their...
Curated OER
Earthquake in the Classroom
Students discover how engineers construct buildings to stand up against earthquakes. They build their own structures out of marshmallows and toothpicks. They test how earthquake-proof their building is with jello.
Micron Technology Foundation
States of Matter
Solids, liquids, gasses oh my! Young scientists will be amazed when they try this experiment, which uses dry ice to discover the states of matter through sublimation.
Curated OER
Bones or No Bones?
Pupils move to music and study bones and their purpose. When the music plays slow, gentle sounds the students have NO bones and their bodies are like Jello or an egg that has been cracked open on the floor . When the music changes to...
Curated OER
Topic: Math, Chemistry, and Food
Learners listen as the teacher tells the story of Sisyphus rolling the stone up the mountain. Students prepare two batches of jello, one with fresh pineapple, and one with canned pineapple. While the jello is setting, learners work on...
Curated OER
Sunken Jell-O Ships
Students use the internet to research a sailing vessel of their choice. Using toothpicks, they create their own models of the vessel and put into blue jello to appear like it is in water. They write a report based on their vessel and...
Curated OER
Edible Glacier
Students complete a KWL chart on what they know about glaciers. Then they gather together around a table containing Jello and Cool Whip cookie mixture and are introduced to the parts of a glacier by observing this model.
Curated OER
Gelatin and Enzyme Lab
Students observe the effectiveness of detergents on breaking down proteins. In this investigative instructional activity students participate in an activity that shows how proteins are broken down in gelatin and fill out a worksheet.

Shedding a "Little" Light on Cancer Surgery
Many types of cancer treatments now depend on nanotechnology—a big "little" discovery. Scholars begin by removing "malignant" tissue from simulated brains, one using fluorescent markers thanks to nanotechnology and one without. This...

Food
Your beginning Spanish speakers have heard different food related vocabulary, but do they know how to spell the words they've heard? They read through the 32 sentences and decide which word fits the best. There are between three and five...
