This is written as a static display, but can easily be adapted to a hands-on experiment for learners to conduct.

Learners observe two joined glass tubes containing a conductive salt solution. Electrodes are passing an electric current through the water.

Learners observe a sealed container holding a clear colorless liquid. They shake the container and the fluid turns blue. When allowed to sit for a few moments, the fluid turns colorless again.

Learners observe an electrochemical cell constructed from a small jar containing zinc and copper strips immersed in separate solutions. The strips are connected to a motor that turns a small fan.

In this hands-on activity, learners determine the types of chemical reactions achieved when combining different household products.

In this chemistry activity, learners witness an exothermic reaction, while making their very own, completely usable sidewalk chalk. This is also an excellent activity for exploring color mixing.

In this hands-on experiment, kids use chemistry to explore whether acids or bases are better at restoring a penny’s shine.
