Matter on the Move
Source Institutions
Learners observe and conduct experiments demonstrating the different properties of hot and cold materials.

Newspaper Collage
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners create a collage by using vinegar to transfer color pictures from a newspaper onto a piece of white paper.

Colors Collide or Combine
Source Institutions
Learners place multiple M&M's in a plate of water to watch what happens as the candies dissolve.

M&M's in Different Temperatures
Source Institutions
Learners design their own experiment to investigate whether the temperature of the surrounding water affects the rate at which the colored coating dissolves from an M&M.

Bouncy Egg
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how acids can dissolve eggshells leaving behind a membrane-covered bouncy egg.

ZOOM Glue
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mix milk, vinegar, baking soda, and water to create sticky glue. Use this activity to explain how engineers develop and evaluate new materials and products.

Mysterious M&M's
Source Institutions
Learners place an M&M candy in water and observe what happens. The sugar-and-color coating dissolves and spreads out in a circular pattern around the M&M.

Limewater
Source Institutions
This is a chemistry lab activity about solutions (page 6 of the PDF). Students make a limewater testing solution for carbon dioxide and explore the concepts of solubility and precipitates.

Color Splash
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mix water, cooking oil, and liquid food coloring to create beautiful colored designs in a cup. Use this activity to explore liquid density and solubility.

Candy Chromatography
Source Institutions
Learners analyze candy-coated sweets using chromatography. Learners use this method to separate the various dyes used to make colored candy.

Racing M&M Colors
Source Institutions
Learners design their own experiment to determine which M&M color dissolves the fastest in water.

Crystal Stencil Stars
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 6 of the PDF, learners dissolve Epsom salt in water and discover that the resulting solution can be used to create a work of art.

Cauldron Bubbles
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mix up a bubbly brew and examine density. Learners explore how they can make different materials fall and rise in water using oil, water, and salt.

Using Color to See How Liquids Combine
Source Institutions
Learners add different liquids (water, salt water, alcohol, and detergent solution) to water and observe the different ways the different liquids combine with water.

Matter of Degree
Source Institutions
In two separate bags, learners mix water with Epsom salts and detergent.

Dissolving a Substance in Different Liquids
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make colored sugar and add it to water, alcohol, and oil to discover some interesting differences in dissolving.

Dissolving Different Liquids in Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners add different liquids to water and apply their working definition of “dissolving” to their observations.

Temperature Affects Dissolving
Source Institutions
Learners design their own experiment to compare how well cocoa mix dissolves in cold and hot water. They will see that cocoa mix dissolves much better in hot water. Adult supervision recommended.
