Source Institutions
In this water activity, learners test which objects float and which sink. Learners discover that objects behave differently in water.
Chemical Identification
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how a cabbage juice indicator helps identify acids and bases, and how iodine indicates the presence of starch.
