Luminol Test
Source Institutions
Learners mix a solution containing luminol and copper with a fake blood solution. A chemical reaction between the luminol solution and fake blood (hydrogen peroxide) show learners a blue glow.
Do Cities Affect the Weather?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore clouds and how they form.
Finding the Right Crater
Source Institutions
This quick demonstration (on page 11 of PDF) allows learners to understand why scientists think water ice could remain frozen in always-dark craters at the poles of the Moon.
As The Stomach Churns
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners fill two test tubes with a solution of "artificial stomach fluid," consisting of hydrochloric acid in the same concentration as in human stomachs, some soap to cre
Common Scents
Source Institutions
Learners use a mortar and pestle to extract clove oil from cloves using denatured alcohol. They put this oil on paper, which they can take home.
Pepper Scatter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the forces at work in water. Learners experiment to find out what happens to pepper in water when they touch it with bar soap and liquid detergent.
Concentrate!
Source Institutions
In this investigation of reaction kinetics, learners alter the amount of iodate solution mixed with the same amount of starch solution.
Acid Rain
Source Institutions
In this chemistry demonstration, acid rain is simulated in a petri dish.
Potato Power
Source Institutions
Learners combine hydrogen peroxide with three different forms of potato: raw chunks, ground chunks, and boiled chunks.
Phantom Phlame
Source Institutions
In this trick, hold your hand over a burning candle without getting burned, by reflecting and transmitting the light of two candles. This activity is best suited as a demonstration.
What's Your Blood Type?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners perform a simulated blood test procedure.
Potato Straw
Source Institutions
In this physics demonstration, learners are challenged to insert a straw the furthest into a potato.
Daffy Density
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners explore density by using four solids and 6 liquids to create colorful, layered rows.
Erupting Fizz
Source Institutions
This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.
Witches' Potion Demonstration
Source Institutions
In this chemistry demonstration, learners will discover that phenolphthalein is an acid/base indicator. One learner will read a poem about four witches making a potion.
Balloon Kebabs
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of density and pressure by attempting to make "balloon kebabs." Learners will try to insert a wooden skewer all the way through an inflated balloon
