In this easy chemistry activity, learners submerge pennies in different liquids (water, lemon juice, vinegar, liquid hand soap, salt water, and baking soda mixed with water) to observe which best clea

In this chemistry activity, learners use thin layer chromatography to determine the molecular composition of different markers.

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners investigate ingredients that combine to produce gas bubbles.

In this simple activity, learners see the production of a gas, which visibly fills up a balloon placed over the neck of a bottle.

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

In this chemistry challenge, learners identify which plants have the enzyme "catalase" that breaks hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

Learners are challenged to discover the relative densities of colored liquids to create a rainbow pattern in a test tube.

In this activity on page 2 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners conduct chemical tests on certain powders used in cooking.

In this activity, learners explore chemistry and the microbial world by making their own sourdough starter and bread at home using only flour and water.

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

In this playful, goopy activity, learners mix two liquids to create a solid (that sometimes acts like a liquid ), using basic household materials such as borax and glue.

In this activity (on page 8), learners model how marble statues and buildings are affected by acid rain.

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

In this experiment, learners will conduct chemical and physical tests to identify mystery substances.

In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

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 chemistry challenge, learners work to figure out which of four juices are real, and which is just food coloring and sugar.

In this activity, learners add dilute bleach solution to water that has been dyed with yellow, blue, and green food color.

This lesson gives full instructions for making cabbage juice indicator, a procedure sheet for learners to record observations as they use the indicator to test materials, and extension activities to d

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