  Properties of Metals
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners explore the properties of metals at four stations. The stations include A) Magnetism and Breakfast Cereal; B) Conductivity of Metals; C) Alloys; and D) Metal Plating.
  Periodic Pegboard
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners use pegboard and straws to build a three-dimensional model of the periodic table.
  
Marine Ecosystems
Source Institutions
    
  In the wild, small crustaceans known as brine shrimp live in marine habitats such as saltwater lakes.
  
Single Replacement Micro-Reactions
Source Institutions
    
  In this chemistry activity, learners use common chemicals and metals to explore single replacement reactions.
  
Watercolor
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners will use chemistry to create a night sky watercolor painting. They will experiment to learn the effects of mixing crayon, salt, and lemon juice with water color paints.
  
Having a Gas with Water
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners construct a simple electrolysis device. With this device, learners can decompose water into its elemental components: hydrogen and oxygen gas.
  
Nuclear Fusion
Source Institutions
    
  This simple and engaging astronomy activity explains nuclear fusion and how radiation is generated by stars, using marshmallows as a model.
  
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.
  
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.
