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

In this activity, learners create a colorful foam fountain by adding yeast to a chemical reaction. This activity introduces chemical reactions to young learners and teaches the concept of catalysts.

In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

In this activity, learners construct a rocket powered by the pressure generated from an effervescing antacid tablet reacting with water, and build a launch pad for their rocket.

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.

In this activity, learners discuss how life is defined and conduct a simple experiment, looking for signs of life in three different “soil” samples.

In this activity, learners test exhaled breath for carbon dioxide and learn how to use an indicator as a simple way to measure pH.

In this activity, learners experiment with hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, yeast, and baking soda to produce hot and cold reactions. Use this activity to demonstrate exothermic and endothermic reactions.

In this chemistry activity which should only be done under adult supervision (page 10 of the PDF), learners will create an exothermic process by making Sodium Acetate.

In this activity on page 8 of the PDF, learners investigate vitamin C. Learners conduct a chemistry experiment to determine if Tang drink mix or orange juice contains more vitamin C.

In this chemistry activity, learners transform two ingredients (4% polyvinyl alcohol solution and 4% borax solution) into gooey slime.
