Rusty Penny
Source Institutions
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
Make Your Own Sculpture Dough
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners follow a recipe to make a dough similar to the clay artists use to make sculptures.
Chromatography Can Separate!
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners use thin layer chromatography to determine the molecular composition of different markers.
Find the Fizz: Discover the Secret of Baking Powder
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 4 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners investigate ingredients that combine to produce gas bubbles.
Separation Anxiety
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover the primary physical properties used to separate pure substances from mixtures.
It's a Gas!
Source Institutions
In this simple activity, learners see the production of a gas, which visibly fills up a balloon placed over the neck of a bottle.
Atoms and Matter (3-6)
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build models of atoms and molecules, then consider their role in different phases of matter, density, and mixtures and solutions.
Which Powder is It?
Source Institutions
In this chemistry challenge, learners identify an unknown white powder by comparing it with common household powders.
Plant Power
Source Institutions
In this chemistry challenge, learners identify which plants have the enzyme "catalase" that breaks hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.
The Liquid Rainbow
Source Institutions
Learners are challenged to discover the relative densities of colored liquids to create a rainbow pattern in a test tube.
Mystery Powders
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 2 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners conduct chemical tests on certain powders used in cooking.
Wild Sourdough
Source Institutions
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.
Rocket Reactions
Source Institutions
The "Rocket Reactions" activity is an exciting way to learn about how materials interact, behave, and change.
Toy Chemistry
Source Institutions
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.
Disappearing Statues
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 8), learners model how marble statues and buildings are affected by acid rain.
Choose Your Ooze
Source Institutions
During this activity, learners will make different versions of "ooze" using varied proportions of detergent and glue.
Lost Labels
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners will conduct chemical and physical tests to identify mystery substances.
Big Things Come in Little Packages
Source Institutions
As a group, learners investigate three packages which are all the same size and shape, but have different contents. One is filled with foam, one is filled with wood, and one is filled with metal.
Static Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use static elecricity to bend a stream of water without touching it. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.
Oil Spill Solutions
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.
