Biochemistry Happens Inside of You!
Source Institutions
In this four-part activity, learners explore how the body works and the chemistry that happens inside living things.

Rainbow Density Experiment
Source Institutions
In this colorful activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will make a multicolor density column by using different concentrations of sugar solutions.

Cheese: Behold the Power of Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners conduct an experiment to get an idea of how cheese is made.

Surface Tension
Source Institutions
In this activity exploring liquid dynamics, learners design and build a clay channel in a tray of water and then see what happens when food coloring and liquid soap are added to the mix.

Plankton Feeding
Source Institutions
This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.

Instant Ice Cream
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make instant ice cream without using a freezer.

Gassy Lava Lamp
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use oil, water, food coloring and antacid tablets to create a bubbling lava lamp. Use this activity to introduce concepts related to density, hydrophobicity vs.

Crunch and Munch Lab
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use three types of cheesy snacks--cheese balls, cheese puffs, and Cheetos--to learn about polymers.

The Nose Knows!
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 9 of the PDF, learners test how flavoring extracts move through the walls of a balloon.

Hot & Cold
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experiment with hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, yeast, and baking soda to produce hot and cold reactions. Use this activity to demonstrate exothermic and endothermic reactions.

Lighting Up Celery Stalks
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a series of hands-on experiments that demonstrate how the working of plants' veins, known as capillary action, enables water to travel throughout the length of a pla
Stability of Egg White Foams
Source Institutions
In this chemistry meets cooking activity, learners compare the stability of egg white foams with various additives.

Freezing Lakes
Source Institutions
In some parts of the world, lakes freeze during winter. In this activity learners will explore water’s unique properties of freezing and melting, and how these relate to density and temperature.

Salt Painting
Source Institutions
In this art meets chemistry activity, early learners discover the almost magical absorbent properties of salt while creating ethereal watercolor paintings.

How Boulders Are Born
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners review and discuss weathering, erosion and mass wasting, to gain a stronger understanding of how Hickory Run’s Boulder Field was formed after the Laurentide Continental Glac

What's So Special about Water: Solubility and Density
Source Institutions
In this activity about water solubility and density, learners use critical thinking skills to determine why water can dissolve some things and not others.

Starch Slime
Source Institutions
Learners mix liquid water with solid cornstarch. They investigate the slime produced, which has properties of both a solid and a liquid.

The Liquid Rainbow
Source Institutions
Learners are challenged to discover the relative densities of colored liquids to create a rainbow pattern in a test tube.

Applesauce
Source Institutions
In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity from Episode 109: The Perfect Pancake, learners make applesauce to explore irreversible change.

Edible Glass
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover the principles of edible glass by making a supersaturated sugar solution.
