Exploring How Liquids Behave
Source Institutions
Learners apply their knowledge from a previous study to identify different liquids--water, corn syrup, and vegetable oil.

Beam Me Up!
Source Institutions
This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Stained Glass Activity) about the "Tyndall effect," the scattering of visible light when it hits very small dispersed particles.

Mixtures and Solutions
Source Institutions
This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can use it to investigate heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures and solutions, identify the differences, and explore the conce

Chemical Breath
Source Institutions
This is a chemistry lab activity about solutions (page 7 of the PDF). Learners see firsthand how chemicals in a solution can combine to form an entirely different substance.

Nature of Dye
Source Institutions
"Nature of Dye" allows participants to create their own dyes and art while exploring how chemicals interact and how these interactions can have real-world applications.

Changing Colors
Source Institutions
In this challenge, learners have to figure out in what order to combine five solutions to change the color from clear, to yellow, to blue, and back to clear.

Indicator Paper
Source Institutions
Use grape juice, baking soda, water and vinegar to make acid and base indicator paper! This activity contains a recipe and instructions for the indicator paper.

Homemade Play Dough
Source Institutions
In this sensory activity, young learners explore chemical reactions by making their own play dough from home.

Solubility Test
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners apply a dissolving test to known crystals to identify the unknown. Since the unknown is chemically the same as one of the known crystals, it should dissolve similarly.

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.

Finding Colors
Source Institutions
In this chemistry challenge, learners combine acids and bases in a universal indicator to create five different colors.

Making Naked Eggs: Eggs Without Shells
Source Institutions
This is an activity about acid-base reactions using eggs and vinegar. Learners place eggs inside a container of vinegar and leave to soak overnight.

Dissolving a Substance in Different Liquids
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make colored sugar and add it to water, alcohol, and oil to discover some interesting differences in dissolving.
