In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.

This open-ended art project allows learners to create their own colorful ice sculpture by using rock salt and food coloring on a solid block of ice.

Construct a simple battery that's able to power a small light or motor out of foil, salt water, and charcoal. A helpful video, produced by the Exploratorium, guides you along on this activity.

In this online interactive simulation, learners will add different salts to water and then watch the salts dissolve and achieve a dynamic equilibrium with solid precipitate.

Don't scream for ice cream -- make it with milk, sugar, flavoring and some 'salt-water' ice. Discover the chemistry of ice cream by creating your own.

In this activity, high voltage is applied across a pickle to emit a yellow glow. This activity should only be conducted by skilled adults and is best suited as a demonstration.

In this activity, learners will experiment with different materials that can melt and change ice.

Learners create three solutions with different levels of salinity. They compare the density of these solutions by coloring them and layering them in a clear plastic cup and in a soda bottle.

In this activity, learners design a crushing test and discover that identifying and controlling the variables may be difficult.

This activity about density provides instructions for making a miniature "lava lite" with just salt, oil, water, and food coloring.

Learners are challenged to create solutions that conduct electricity and make a buzzer buzz (or an LED light up).

In this activity, learners compare different types of salt crystals under a magnifying glass.

In this art meets chemistry activity, early learners discover the almost magical absorbent properties of salt while creating ethereal watercolor paintings.
