Plant Power
Source Institutions
In this chemistry challenge, learners identify which plants have the enzyme "catalase" that breaks hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.
Nano Ice Cream
Source Institutions
In this activity/demo, learners discover how liquid nitrogen cools a creamy mixture at such a rapid rate that it precipitates super fine grained (nano) ice cream.
Homemade Butter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will turn cream and salt into butter—using marbles. Learners will explore how shaking up fat globules help them create homemade butter.
Instant Ice Cream
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make instant ice cream without using a freezer.
Making a Battery from a Potato
Source Institutions
In this electrochemistry activity, young learners and adult helpers create a battery from a potato to run a clock.
Why Does Food Spoil?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will conduct an experiment to discover methods of reventing foot mold growth on food.
Whodunit?
Source Institutions
In this fascinating and fun experiment, learners use chemistry to identify a mystery powder and to solve a "crime," a process similar to that used by real forensic scientists.
We all Scream for Ice Cream
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.
Fizzy Fun
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners test what happens when they put baking power on different frozen liquids.
Sink or Swim?
Source Institutions
Learners observe a tank of water containing cans of diet and regular sodas. The diet sodas float and the regular sodas sink. All the cans contain the same amount of liquid and the same amount of air.
What Does Spit Do?
Source Institutions
Some animals can swallow food whole, but humans have to chew. In this activity, learners will investigate what saliva does chemically to food before we even swallow.
Sweet Speedway
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners test different food items by timing how long it takes each liquid to slide from the top of a ramp to the bottom.
Candy Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners test multiple food items to see if they are an acid or base using an indicator solution created with red cabbage.
Starch Slime
Source Institutions
Learners mix liquid water with solid cornstarch. They investigate the slime produced, which has properties of both a solid and a liquid.
Push Me a Grape
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners experiment with the attractive and repulsive power of magnets.
