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

In this activity, learners discover the primary physical properties used to separate pure substances from mixtures.

Visitors test solutions of water, sugar, salt, and hydrochloric acid and the solids salt and sugar. They clip leads from the hand generator to wires immersed in each substance.

In this activity related to the human circulatory system (on page 10 of the PDF), learners observe the dispersion of a drop of food coloring in water, draw conclusions about the movement of dissolved

In this activity, learners investigate diffusion by creating underwater "fireworks" using food coloring, oil and water.

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 "Chemistry is Colorful" learners explore different materials through paper chromatography.

In this activity, learners mix water, cooking oil, and liquid food coloring to create beautiful colored designs in a cup. Use this activity to explore liquid density and solubility.

In this a hands-on activity, learners explore how to put ice cream in an oven without it melting. Ideas in this activity include insulation and cooking.

In this activity, learners explore materials through paper chromatography.

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

In this sensory activity, young learners explore chemical reactions by making their own play dough from home.

In this chemistry activity, learners prepare two petri dishes, one filled with water and one filled with milk.

In this activity, learners separate a mixture of pebbles, salt crystals, and wood pieces. They add water and pour the mixture through a strainer.

Learners use filter paper and water to analyze six different markers. They mark the paper with ink, and dip the paper in water. The water travels up the paper and dissolved ink travels with it.
