COSI's Bubble Recipe
Source Institutions
Everybody loves bubbles, and this is the best bubble recipe ever!

Bubbles: Using Controls
In this experiment, learners use JOY liquid detergent and glycerin to make the largest bubble they can that lasts 15 seconds.

Bubble Tray
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use simple materials to create giant bubbles.

Burst a Bubble
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create their own bubble solution. Learners will explore chemistry, geometry and trial and error through this activity.

Bubble Trouble
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 15 of the PDF, learners measure the amount of bubbles that they make using a detergent.

Best Bubbles
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experiment with creating various types of bubble solutions and testing which ingredients form longer-lasting bubbles.

Cauldron Bubbles
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mix up a bubbly brew and examine density. Learners explore how they can make different materials fall and rise in water using oil, water, and salt.

Foam Tower
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Water Slides), learners will whip up some suds with a cup of water and a tablespoon of dish soap until the bubbles are stiff enough to star

It's a Gas!
Source Institutions
In this simple activity, learners see the production of a gas, which visibly fills up a balloon placed over the neck of a bottle.

Do the Mystery Samples Contain Life?
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 13-16 of the PDF) learners investigate three mystery samples to see which one contains life. The three samples are sand, sand and yeast, and sand and antacid.

Having a Gas with Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a simple electrolysis device. With this device, learners can decompose water into its elemental components: hydrogen and oxygen gas.

Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor?
Source Institutions
Each learner chews a piece of gum until it loses its flavor, and then leaves the gum to dry for several days.

Gassy Lava Lamp
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use oil, water, food coloring and antacid tablets to create a bubbling lava lamp. Use this activity to introduce concepts related to density, hydrophobicity vs.

"Boyle-ing" Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore Boyle's Law and discover that water will boil at room temperature if its pressure is lowered.

Find the Fizz: Discover the Secret of Baking Powder
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 4 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners investigate ingredients that combine to produce gas bubbles.

Formation of a Precipitate
Source Institutions
Learners create hard water by mixing Epsom salt and water. Then they compare what happens when soap solution is mixed with hard water and regular water.

Soda Geyser
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off), learners will use the ever-popular soda geyser experiment to test the reactivity of the various sugar candies or mints.

Acid Rain Eats Stone!
Source Institutions
This display shows the dangers of acid rain on buildings and other structures as two concrete bunny rabbits are disintegrated by sulfuric acid. Learners scrape chalk onto the concrete bunnies.

Erupting Fizz
Source Institutions
This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.

Air, It's Really There
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on molecular motion in gases. Learners compare the mass of a basketball when it is deflated and after it has been inflated.
