Avogadro's Bubbly Adventure
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners investigate the solubility of gas in water at different temperatures. This experiment will help learners determine if temperature affects solubility.
Comparing Crystals
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will learn about crystals by growing their very own.
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.
Grow Rock Candy
Source Institutions
Learners grow sugar crystals (rock candy). They make a hot solution that has an excess of sugar dissolved in it, then as the solution cools, they see sugar crystals form.
Soda Pop Cave
Source Institutions
In this geology activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners explore how carbonic acid can slowly dissolve limestone and form caves.
Soda Geyser
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off), learners will use the ever-popular soda geyser experiment to test the reactivity of the various sugar candies or mints.
Reflective Solar Cooker
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use the Sun's energy to cook marshmallows. Learners construct the solar oven out of simple everyday materials.
