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.

In this chemistry activity, learners use guar gum to make slime. Use this activity to introduce learners to polymers, viscosity, and colloids.

Ocean acidification is a problem that humans will have to deal with as we release more and more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

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

This demonstration can be used to help learners visualize DNA by lysing (breaking open) bacterial cells on a slide and “stringing up” the DNA with a toothpick in less than one minute.

In this activity, learners explore clouds and how they form.

In this activity, learners explore how air warms when it condenses water vapor or makes clouds.

Learners observe a sealed test tube containing a small amount of solid stearic acid.

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

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

With a coffee filter, a black marker, and a cup of water, discover the secret colors hidden in black ink.

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.

In this chemistry activity, learners observe a combustion reaction and deduce the components necessary for the reaction to occur.

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

In this chemistry activity, learners use yeast and hydrogen peroxide to generate a gas (oxygen) and test some of its properties.

In this investigation of reaction kinetics, learners alter the amount of iodate solution mixed with the same amount of starch solution.

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.

This is an activity about robotics programming. Learners will discover how precise programmers have to be as they instruct a friend to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Learners add two dyes to mineral oil and water, and then compare their miscibility (how well they mix) in each.

In this chemistry demonstration, acid rain is simulated in a petri dish.
