Learners see that a carrot slice sinks in fresh water and floats in saltwater.

Learners place multiple M&M's in a plate of water to watch what happens as the candies dissolve.

In this activity, learners examine baking powder, a combination of three powders: baking soda, cream of tartar, and cornstarch.

Learners place an M&M candy in water and observe what happens. The sugar-and-color coating dissolves and spreads out in a circular pattern around the M&M.

Learners mix a variety of substances with red cabbage juice. The juice changes color to indicate whether each substance is an acid or a base.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of permeability to better understand why amphibians are extremely sensitive to pollution.

In this chemistry demonstration, learners investigate the factors that increase the rate of dissolution for a solid.

In this activity, learners heat and cool carbonated water to find out whether temperature has an effect on how fast the dissolved gas leaves carbonated water.

Learners combine different plant solutions -- made from fruits, vegetables, and flowers -- with equal amounts of vinegar (acid), water (neutral), and ammonia (base).

This activity shows you how to make a mold terrarium using a jar and leftover food.

Learners use their knowledge of color changes with red cabbage indicator to neutralize an acidic solution with a base and then neutralize a basic solution with an acid.

In this activity about osmosis, learners use a naked egg (one with a dissolved eggshell) to learn about selectively permeable membranes.

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 chemistry activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will see that chewing is more than just the crushing up of food; there is actually a chemical change going on at the same time.

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.

In this yummy chemistry activity which requires adult supervision, learners use sugar and water to explore how crystals form.

In the related activity called "Colors Collide or Combine," learners are intrigued by the apparent "line" that forms where colors from M&M coatings meet but do not mix.

In this introductory activity, learners discover that sugar and food coloring dissolve in water but neither dissolves in oil.

In this physics activity (page 14 of the PDF), learners gain a better understanding of how friction and mass affect objects by comparing the rotational inertia of raw and hard-boiled eggs.

This is an activity about friction as well as kinetic and potential energy.
