Learners observe different paper samples under ordinary room light and under a black light to learn some of the chemical differences between different types of paper.

Learners mix a solution of luminol with hydrogen peroxide to produce a reaction that gives off blue light.

Learners experiment with a commercial photo-sensitive paper (Sunprint® or NaturePrint® paper). They place opaque and clear objects on the paper and expose it to bright light, observing the results.

In this activity, learners use UV light to transfer a pattern onto a plastic board. The pattern is transferred by placing a mask (a transparency sheet with the pattern) on a plastic board.

Learners test solutions of water, sugar, salt, and hydrochloric acid for electrical conductivity. They immerse leads from a lighting device (a battery pack connected to an LED) into each solution.

In this activity, learners investigate the properties of graphene and graphite.

In this activity, learners will make homemade jello that glows under a blacklight. They will learn about quinine, an ingredient in tonic water that is fluorescent.

Learners measure a bottle full of air, and then use a vacuum pump to remove the air. When they re-weigh the bottle, learners find the mass is about 0.8g less.

In this chemistry lab activity, learners model the colors of fireworks by burning metallic solutions in a flame and observing the different colors produced.

Learners observe two joined glass tubes containing a conductive salt solution. Electrodes are passing an electric current through the water.

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

Learners mix a solution containing luminol and copper with a fake blood solution. A chemical reaction between the luminol solution and fake blood (hydrogen peroxide) show learners a blue glow.

In this activity, learners investigate the different salinity levels of oceans, rivers and estuaries.
