Say Cheese!
Source Institutions
Create a chemical reaction that makes cheese! This hands-on activity demonstrates that molecules and atoms are tiny particles that make up everything around us.

Electroplating
Source Institutions
In this electrochemistry activity, learners will explore two examples of electroplating.

Mystery Powders
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 2 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners conduct chemical tests on certain powders used in cooking.

Great Balls of Goop
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mix white craft glue and borax solution together to produce a surprising new material: GOOP!

Rocket Reactions
Source Institutions
The "Rocket Reactions" activity is an exciting way to learn about how materials interact, behave, and change.

What is Light?
Source Institutions
In this four-part activity, learners will discover the exciting world of light--the most important form of energy in our world--and be able to identify and describe different types of light.

Heat Speeds Up Reactions
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the effect of heat on a reaction.

Toy Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this playful, goopy activity, learners mix two liquids to create a solid (that sometimes acts like a liquid ), using basic household materials such as borax and glue.

3-2-1 POP!
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

Tiny Geyser Models
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 2), learners will construct tiny model geysers out of film canisters, warm water, and antacid seltzer tablets.

The Pressure's On
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners explore chemical reactions and their effects, including the kind of reaction in the human body that makes people burp!

Homemade Play Dough
Source Institutions
In this sensory activity, young learners explore chemical reactions by making their own play dough from home.

Conservation of Mass
Source Institutions
This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can participate to learn about conservation of gas. This is one of the classic experiments using baking soda and vinegar.

Change in Temperature: Exothermic Reaction
Source Institutions
Learners add calcium chloride to a baking soda solution and observe an increase in temperature along with the production of a gas and a white precipitate. These are all signs of a chemical reaction.

Production of a Gas: Controlling a Chemical Reaction
Source Institutions
Learners mix vinegar and baking soda to produce a gas. With the addition of a bit of liquid soap, the gas becomes trapped in measurable bubbles.
