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.
Pop Rockets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make film canister rocket ships. A fin pattern is glued onto the outside of the canister, and fuel (water and half an antacid tablet) is mixed inside the canister.
Four of the States of Matter
Source Institutions
This kinesthetic science demonstration introduces learners to four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
"Boyle-ing" Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore Boyle's Law and discover that water will boil at room temperature if its pressure is lowered.
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.
Soda Geyser
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off), learners will use the ever-popular soda geyser experiment to test the reactivity of the various sugar candies or mints.
Air Cannon
Source Institutions
In this quick and easy activity, learners build an air cannon "drum" and see what happens when they "shoot" puffs of air at different targets.
¡Agua Cambiante!
Source Institutions
En esta actividad, los aprendices experimentarán con las tres fases del agua. Intentarán controlar la rapidez de los cambios de estado al manipular la temperatura y la presión del agua, hielo, y gas.
Snake
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will construct their own spiral "snake" and use it to explore the relationship between heat and kinetic energy.
