This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

In this activity, learners observe as soap bubbles float on a cushion of carbon dioxide gas. Learners blow bubbles into an aquarium filled with a slab of dry ice.

In this activity (on page 8), learners model how marble statues and buildings are affected by acid rain.

In this activity, learners imagine what the world might look like if we could build an elevator to space!

In this activity, learners explore the concepts of density and basic chemical reactions as they create a homemade lava lamp effect using water, oil, food coloring, and Alka-Seltzer tablets.

In this activity, learners construct a rocket powered by the pressure generated from an effervescing antacid tablet reacting with water, and build a launch pad for their rocket.

In this activity, learners construct and launch rockets using simple materials and their understanding of chemical reactions.

This online interactive has three activities in the NanoLab (press the upper right button): Build, Zoom, and Transform.

Using yeast, sugar, and water, learners create a chemical reaction which produces carbon dioxide (CO2) gas inside a 2-liter bottle. They use this gas to inflate a balloon.

Learn about chemical reactions by making a Bubble Bomb, a plastic bag you can pop with the power of fizz.
