In this activity, learners measure the amount of carbon dioxide in a carbonated drink.

This lesson focuses on two simple activities that younger learners can do to gain an appreciation of nanotechnology. First, learners measure their hands in nanometers.

Learners add calcium chloride to a baking soda solution and observe an increase in temperature along with the production of a gas and a white precipitate. These are all signs of a chemical reaction.

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

In this combination chemistry and physics activity, learners explore water absorption in dried beans or peas and learn how this affects their physical properties.

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 activity, learners calculate the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere by using steel wool's ability to rust.

In this activity, learners make different shapes that hold exactly one mole of gas (air).

In this activity, learners investigate the process of osmosis by adding salt to a sealed bag of raw carrots and comparing it to a control.

In this activity on page 15 of the PDF, learners measure the amount of bubbles that they make using a detergent.

This is an activity in which learners will find that they can detect differences in concentration better with their nose (smelling) than with their eyes (seeing).

In this lab activity, learners explore how to initiate a density current. Learners measure six flasks with different concentrations of salt and water (colored blue).

In this classic hands-on activity, learners estimate the length of a molecule by floating a fatty acid (oleic acid) on water.

Learners mix vinegar and baking soda to produce a gas. With the addition of a bit of liquid soap, the gas becomes trapped in measurable bubbles.

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Bogs) is a full inquiry investigation into decomposition.

Learners build a filter from old soda bottles and dirt. They create polluted water, and pour it through their filter to clean it.
