Create Gas
Source Institutions
Learners mix vinegar and baking soda together in a bottle to create a chemical reaction. The reaction produces a gas, carbon dioxide, which inflates a balloon attached to the mouth of the bottle.
Catapult
Source Institutions
Build a catapult that transforms the potential energy of a twisted rubber band into kinetic energy. Experiment with design variations so that you can hit a target with a projectile.
Red, White and Blue I Demonstration
Source Institutions
In this chemistry demonstration, learners observe a chemical reaction that produces a colorful effect.
Floating Candles
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners observe a combustion reaction and deduce the components necessary for the reaction to occur.
Potato Power
Source Institutions
Learners combine hydrogen peroxide with three different forms of potato: raw chunks, ground chunks, and boiled chunks.
Finding Red
Source Institutions
In this chemistry challenge, learners systematically investigate which combination of four solutions produces a deep red color.
Trading Places
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that atoms and ions of different metals will change places.
Reaction: Yes or No?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mix ingredients in a plastic bag, and then identify three characteristics of a chemical reaction: production of heat, color change, and production of a gas.
Exploring Properties: Surface Area
Source Institutions
This hands-on activity demonstrates how a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.
Powder Particulars
Source Institutions
In this introductory activity and demonstration, learners are introduced to the concept that different substances react chemically in characteristic ways.
