Hollandaise Sauce: Emulsion at Work
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners follow a recipe to make hollandaise sauce. Learners discover how cooks use egg yolks to blend oil and water together into a smooth mix.
Making a Battery from a Potato
Source Institutions
In this electrochemistry activity, young learners and adult helpers create a battery from a potato to run a clock.
Molecules in Motion
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners add food coloring to hot and cold water to see whether heating or cooling affects the speed of water molecules.
Air, It's Really There
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on molecular motion in gases. Learners compare the mass of a basketball when it is deflated and after it has been inflated.
Mixing and Unmixing in the Kitchen
Source Institutions
In this chemistry investigation, learners combine common cooking substances (flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, pepper, oil, water, food coloring) to explore mixtures.
The Carbon Cycle and its Role in Climate Change: Activity 1
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 1), learners role play as atoms to explore how atoms can be rearranged to make different materials.
Mighty Molecules
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use marshmallows and gum drops to construct seven models of molecules. Learners classify (solid, liquid or gas) and draw diagrams of the molecules.
Gas Model
Source Institutions
This highly visual model demonstrates the atomic theory of matter which states that a gas is made up of tiny particles of atoms that are in constant motion, smashing into each other.
Film Canister Rocket
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct and launch rockets using simple materials and their understanding of chemical reactions.
The Ups and Downs of Thermometers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine the parts of a thermometer. After placing a thermometer in hot and cold water, learners look at molecular model animations of the liquid in a thermometer.
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.
