Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners experiment with lemon juice and paper to create a message that can only be revealed using chemistry.

Layered Liquids: Chemistry You Can Drink
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make a layered drink with liquids of different densities.

Mystery Writing: Write and develop a secret message
Source Institutions
Learners write an invisible message using lemon juice on a piece of paper. They then develop the message by soaking the paper in a dilute iodine solution.
