Learners write an invisible message using lemon juice on a piece of paper. They then develop the message by soaking the paper in a dilute iodine solution.

In this chemistry activity, learners use the lowered freezing point of water to chill another mixture (ice cream) to the solid state.

Learners design their own experiment to determine which M&M color dissolves the fastest in water.

In this activity, learners use things from the kitchen as building materials to explore how shapes contribute to the strength of different structures.

In this activity, learners make edible T. rex teeth (with adult assistance). The treat is a white and dark chocolate covered banana on a stick.

In this chemistry demonstration, learners investigate the rule "likes dissolve likes" by combining three, immiscible liquids to create a colorful density column.

This activity demonstrates the importance of wearing a helmet to protect the brain. An egg is used to symbolize a head with the shell as the skull and the inside of the egg as the brain.

In this activity, learners will develop a method to test five similar-looking powders (baking soda, baking powder, cream of tartar, detergent, and cornstarch) with four test liquids (water, vinegar, i

In this introductory activity and demonstration, learners are introduced to the concept that different substances react chemically in characteristic ways.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils by making an edible treat. First, learners read "Dinosaur Bones" by Aliki to examine how fossils are formed.

Learners make kimchee or sauerkraut, which is really just fermented cabbage, in a 2-liter plastic bottle.

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

In this dynamic activity, learners build a catapult that launches projectiles, such as marshmallows.

Create a chemical reaction that makes cheese! This hands-on activity demonstrates that molecules and atoms are tiny particles that make up everything around us.

In this activity, learners discover that as the salinity of water increases, the density increases as well. Learners prove this by attempting to float fresh eggs in saltwater and freshwater.

In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

In this activity, learners mix milk, vinegar, baking soda, and water to create sticky glue. Use this activity to explain how engineers develop and evaluate new materials and products.

In this activity, learners test the pH of safe liquids available at home by creating a pH indicator from mashed blueberries.

Learners make their own acid-base indicator from red cabbage. They use this indicator to test substances around the house.

In this hands-on experiment, kids use chemistry to explore whether acids or bases are better at restoring a penny’s shine.
