Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners fill two test tubes with a solution of "artificial stomach fluid," consisting of hydrochloric acid in the same concentration as in human stomachs, some soap to cre

Acid Rain
Source Institutions
In this chemistry demonstration, acid rain is simulated in a petri dish.

Rock Bottoms
Source Institutions
Learners add acid rain (nitric acid) to two cups that represent lakes. One cup contains limestone gravel and the other contains granite gravel.

Hot Stuff!: Creating and Testing for Carbon Dioxide
In this demonstration, learners observe vinegar and baking soda reacting to form carbon dioxide (CO2) gas.

Hot Stuff!: Testing Ice
In this demonstration, learners compare and contrast regular water ice to dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide). Both samples are placed in a solution of acid-base indicator.

Reaction: Yes or No?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mix ingredients in a plastic bag, and then identify three characteristics of a chemical reaction: production of heat, color change, and production of a gas.

Powder Particulars
Source Institutions
In this introductory activity and demonstration, learners are introduced to the concept that different substances react chemically in characteristic ways.

Magic Inks
Source Institutions
Learners write their initials by applying different clear "magic ink" solutions to separate pieces of paper and then "develop" the inks with other clear solutions.
