In this chemistry activity, learners are asked to form a hypothesis about the behavior of milk as household detergents act upon it.

In this chemistry demonstration, learners investigate the rule "likes dissolve likes" by combining three, immiscible liquids to create a colorful density column.

In this activity, learners will explore the dynamics of air pressure by using a candle, a cup, and a dish of water.

Extract your DNA from your very own cells! First, learners swish salt water in their mouth to collect cheek cells and spit the water into a glass.

In this activity, learners perform a simulated blood test procedure.

In this activity, learners use a tuning fork to explore how the Doppler effect works.

In this activity, learners will use simple materials to explore centripetal force and variables by swinging a cup of water without having the water spill out.

Learners mix liquid water with solid cornstarch. They investigate the slime produced, which has properties of both a solid and a liquid.

In this chemistry activity, learners use spaghetti to explore density and chemical reactions.

In this activity, learners use water, oil, and food coloring to observe a chemical reaction that creates a shower of colors inside of a glass.

The Let's Do Chemistry "Build a Battery" activity lets participants learn how batteries work and how materials behave, change, and interact by building their own simple battery out of metal and felt w

In this activity, learners create a large film of soap and experiment with what can and cannot pass through it.

In this chemistry activity, learners prepare two petri dishes, one filled with water and one filled with milk.

Learners add acid rain (nitric acid) to two cups that represent lakes. One cup contains limestone gravel and the other contains granite gravel.

In this activity (4th activity on the page), learners test to see if saliva is necessary for food to have taste.

"Molecules in Motion" explores how materials behave and change in a vacuum.

Learners add drops of alginate solution to a solution of calcium chloride. The alginate does not mix with the calcium chloride, but forms soft gel beads.

In this trick, learners discover how to stick a straw to the palm of their hand, window door, or anywhere using static electricity.

The "Rocket Reactions" activity is an exciting way to learn about how materials interact, behave, and change.

Learners place their hands on different metals and use an ammeter to monitor the flow of electricity from one metal to another.
