In this activity, learners investigate diffusion by creating underwater "fireworks" using food coloring, oil and water.

Learners add two dyes to mineral oil and water, and then compare their miscibility (how well they mix) in each.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Chemistry—It’s Elemental), learners use iodine to identify foods that contain starch.

In this activity, learners explore how ordinary marshmallows expand when heated in a microwave.

In this activity, learners mix water, cooking oil, and liquid food coloring to create beautiful colored designs in a cup. Use this activity to explore liquid density and solubility.

In this activity, learners touch supercooled water drops with an ice crystal and trigger the water drops to freeze instantly.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of density by pouring 5 different liquids into a jar. Food coloring is added if needed to give each liquid a distinct color.

Using two baby food jars, food coloring, and an index card, you'll 'marry' the jars to see how hot water and cold water mix.

In this activity, learners follow a recipe to make hollandaise sauce. Learners discover how cooks use egg yolks to blend oil and water together into a smooth mix.

In this chemistry activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make a layered drink with liquids of different densities.

In this demonstration, adult learners create a lava lamp using beer and nuts! Use this pub-themed activity to demonstrate the effects of buoyancy and bubbles.

In this activity, learners explore the forces at work in water. Learners experiment to find out what happens to pepper in water when they touch it with bar soap and liquid detergent.

Investigate the interaction of liquids of different densities and experiment with wave patterns with this hands-on activity.

In this quick activity, learners drink Avogadro's number worth of molecules - 6.02x10^23 molecules!

In this physics demonstration, learners are challenged to insert a straw the furthest into a potato.

Learners place cut flowers in colored water and observe how the flowers change. The flowers absorb the water through the stem and leaves.

In this chemistry activity, learners are asked to form a hypothesis about the behavior of milk as household detergents act upon it.

In this activity, learners sublimate dry ice and then taste the carbon dioxide gas.

In this activity, learners discover what happens when they crush wintergreen-flavored candies in a very dark room.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners follow a recipe to make a dough similar to the clay artists use to make sculptures.
