Learners build a filter from old soda bottles and dirt. They create polluted water, and pour it through their filter to clean it.

In this chemistry activity, learners use thin layer chromatography to determine the molecular composition of different markers.

In this experiment, learners separate different types of molecules in marker inks (using a technique called "thin layer chromatography").

In this activity, learners build models of atoms and molecules, then consider their role in different phases of matter, density, and mixtures and solutions.

This series of chemistry stations is designed to accompany the PBS documentary about African-American chemist "Percy Julian: Forgotten Genius." Each of the six stations features either a chemical or p

During this activity, learners will make different versions of "ooze" using varied proportions of detergent and glue.

Learners design their own experiment to investigate how pollution diffuses through ground material.

In this experiment, learners will conduct chemical and physical tests to identify mystery substances.

As a group, learners investigate three packages which are all the same size and shape, but have different contents. One is filled with foam, one is filled with wood, and one is filled with metal.

In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

In this activity, learners add dilute bleach solution to water that has been dyed with yellow, blue, and green food color.

This lesson gives full instructions for making cabbage juice indicator, a procedure sheet for learners to record observations as they use the indicator to test materials, and extension activities to d

In two separate bags, learners mix water with Epsom salts and detergent.

In this activity, learners mix several sugar solutions to investigate the property of density. Each sugar solution has a different density and color of the rainbow.
