In this activity, learners examine baking powder, a combination of three powders: baking soda, cream of tartar, and cornstarch.

Learners create hard water by mixing Epsom salt and water. Then they compare what happens when soap solution is mixed with hard water and regular water.

In this chemistry challenge, learners identify an unknown white powder by comparing it with common household powders.

In this chemistry challenge, learners discover that many chemical reactions involve heat loss or gain.

Learners mix a variety of substances with red cabbage juice. The juice changes color to indicate whether each substance is an acid or a base.

Learners investigate signs of a chemical reaction when they mix vinegar and baking soda. In addition to a gas being produced, learners also notice the temperature decreases.

Learners use their knowledge of color changes with red cabbage indicator to neutralize an acidic solution with a base and then neutralize a basic solution with an acid.

In this chemistry investigation, learners combine common cooking substances (flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, pepper, oil, water, food coloring) to explore mixtures.

During this activity, learners will make different versions of "ooze" using varied proportions of detergent and glue.

In this activity, learners explore atoms as the smallest building blocks of matter. With adult help, learners start by dividing play dough in half, over and over again.

Learners place water and part of an antacid tablet in a film canister. The reaction creates a gas reaction that launches the film canister like a rocket.

In this challenge, learners have to figure out in what order to combine five solutions to change the color from clear, to yellow, to blue, and back to clear.

In this activity, learners create and reveal secret messages written with invisible ink! The invisible ink is actually a baking soda solution, and the magical revealing liquid is fruit juice.

In this experiment, learners try different liquids to see which ones clean pennies best. Liquids to try include water, lemon juice, cola, vinegar, and dishwashing detergent.

In this activity, learners test what happens when they put baking power on different frozen liquids.

In two separate bags, learners mix water with Epsom salts and detergent.

This hands-on activity demonstrates how a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

In this chemistry challenge, learners combine acids and bases in a universal indicator to create five different colors.

In this activity, learners explore the chemical reaction between water and effervescent antacid tablets. This hands-on activity models how a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

In this activity, learners discover how a cabbage juice indicator helps identify acids and bases, and how iodine indicates the presence of starch.
