In this activity, learners examine fingerprints. Learners leave a hidden print on a surface and then make their own print detecting powder from graphite (found in pencils).

Learners are given mysterious white powders and have to determine their identity with chemical tests.

In this hands-on activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners experiment with lemon juice and paper to create a message that can only be revealed using chemistry.

Learners write an invisible message using lemon juice on a piece of paper. They then develop the message by soaking the paper in a dilute iodine solution.

In this activity, learners become detectives and use chemistry to investigate fingerprints.

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.
