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

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

In this activity on page 6 of the PDF (Chemistry—It’s Elemental), learners explore some of the properties of copper using a few common household ingredients.

In this tasty activity, learners make their own ice cream any day of the year in an exploration of heat and cold. Highlights include freezing and melting and the transition from liquid to solid.

During this interactive "survival" game, students learn about the importance of camouflage and how it helps animals to blend into their surroundings, as either predator or prey.

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 design challenge, learners use their creativity and imagination to design and test a wildlife crossing for their favorite animal.

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

This is a fun activity about the power of the Sun and the importance of using sunscreen to protect your sensitive skin from its rays.

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

In this activity, learners explore a bucket of sand and beach objects.

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 fun hands-on activity, learners whip up a batch of cyber-dough (play dough) using math for measurements.

Learners investigate how temperature affects the rate of chemical reactions by observing how steel wool reacts with various types of Kool-Aid solutions at different temperatures.

An outdoor scavenger hunt helps learners consider the theme of "What Is Life?" Learners explore what living organisms are, including how organisms meet basic needs of food, shelter and water to surviv

Many germs spread by our hands, and often times, people don't wash their hands well enough to get rid of germs.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make a plastic protein polymer from milk. Adding vinegar to milk causes the protein casein to solidify or curdle.
