In this activity, learners explore the history of making objects from glass and artistry of Dale Chihuly.

In this activity on page 6 of the PDF, learners use glue instead of glass to create artwork that can be hung in a window.

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

In this activity, learners discover that sand is the major ingredient in glass.

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF (Behind the Scenes with Chemistry), learners make some special effects, including snow and breaking glass, with supplies found in the home.

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.

In this activity, learners compare different types of salt crystals under a magnifying glass.

This is a quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.

In this activity, learners use a flashlight, a glass of water, and some milk to examine why the sky is blue and sunsets are red.

In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a lemon slice appears to magically levitate within a pint glass.

In this activity, educators can demonstrate how the nanoscale arrangement of atoms dramatically impacts a material’s macroscale behavior.

In this activity, learners are challenged to lift a floating ice cube out of a glass of water using just one end of a piece of string.

This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.

In this activity, learners discover that the way a material behaves on the macroscale is affected by its structure on the nanoscale.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

Learners explore water adhesion and learn about why water molecules are more strongly attracted to some substances than others.
