Soda Explosion
Source Institutions
This hands-on activity lets participant explore chemical reactions as they create a soda explosion with lots of bubbles. The bubbles in soda are made of carbon dioxide gas.
Underwater Fireworks
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate diffusion by creating underwater "fireworks" using food coloring, oil and water.
Hollandaise Sauce: Emulsion at Work
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners follow a recipe to make hollandaise sauce. Learners discover how cooks use egg yolks to blend oil and water together into a smooth mix.
Supercooled Water Drops
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners touch supercooled water drops with an ice crystal and trigger the water drops to freeze instantly.
Pepper Scatter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the forces at work in water. Learners experiment to find out what happens to pepper in water when they touch it with bar soap and liquid detergent.
Dancing Spaghetti
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners use spaghetti to explore density and chemical reactions.
Pepper Scatter
Source Institutions
In this quick activity, learners break the tension that happens when water develops a "skin." Learners use water, pepper and some soap to discover the wonders of surface tension—the force that attract
Chocolate (Sea Floor) Lava
Source Institutions
In this edible experiment, learners pour "Magic Shell" chocolate into a glass of cold water. They'll observe as pillow shaped structures form, which resemble lavas on the sea floor.
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.
Toast a Mole!
Source Institutions
In this quick activity, learners drink Avogadro's number worth of molecules - 6.02x10^23 molecules!
Light Soda
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners sublimate dry ice and then taste the carbon dioxide gas.
Erupting Fizz
Source Institutions
This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.
Swirling Milk
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners prepare two petri dishes, one filled with water and one filled with milk.
