In this chemistry demonstration, learners investigate the factors that increase the rate of dissolution for a solid.

Diffusion of Water with Gummy Bears
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the movement of water into and out of a polymer. Learners test the diffusion of water through gummy bears, which are made of sugar and gelatin (a polymer).
Are you a Supertaster?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine their tongue and taste buds.

Get the Porridge Just Right
Source Institutions
