Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore materials through paper chromatography.
Color Me Blue
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners add dilute bleach solution to water that has been dyed with yellow, blue, and green food color.
Of Cabbages and Kings
Source Institutions
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
Fizzy Fun
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners test what happens when they put baking power on different frozen liquids.
Iron in Cereal: Find iron in your food!
Source Institutions
Learners investigate an iron-fortified cereal by stirring it with a strong magnet. They discover that metallic iron is present in some cereals.
Green Pennies
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create their own experiment and test which of 4 mixtures of household chemicals turn pennies green over 5 days.
Matter of Degree
Source Institutions
In two separate bags, learners mix water with Epsom salts and detergent.
Be A Pasta Food Scientist
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners of all ages can become food scientists by experimenting with flour and water to make basic pasta.
Sugar/Salt Crystals
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (page 1 of the PDF), learners will observe a physical change.
Pop Rockets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make film canister rocket ships. A fin pattern is glued onto the outside of the canister, and fuel (water and half an antacid tablet) is mixed inside the canister.
Disappearing Colors
Source Institutions
In this challenge, learners figure out how to make a juice stain disappear.
Density Rainbow
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mix several sugar solutions to investigate the property of density. Each sugar solution has a different density and color of the rainbow.
Penny for Your Thoughts
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how metals react with each other. They will see these metals change before their eyes as they coat a paperclip with the copper taken from a penny.

Source Institutions
Our bodies defend themselves in many different ways to prevent us from getting sick.
Carrying Charges: Testing for Conductivity
Source Institutions
Learners are challenged to create solutions that conduct electricity and make a buzzer buzz (or an LED light up).
Crystals: Grow Your Own Garden
Source Institutions
In this simple activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make a crystal garden using salt, water, and a brick.
Iron in the Environment
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners corrode a penny in a cup with vinegar, salt water, and a source of iron (nails, paper clips, or twist ties).
Forwards and Backwards
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore acids and bases by preparing six solutions that combine vinegar and ammonia, ranging from acid (all vinegar) to base (all ammonia).
Recycling Paper
Source Institutions
In this crafty chemistry activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make their own paper from used paper they may have otherwise thrown away.
Flubber
Source Institutions
Learners experiment with a piece of Silly Putty® by stretching, bouncing, and snapping it. They then create flubber, a similar substance, by mixing diluted glue and a solution of sodium borate.
