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.
Density Rainbow
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mix several sugar solutions to investigate the property of density. Each sugar solution has a different density and color of the rainbow.
Crystals: Grow Your Own Garden
Source Institutions
In this simple activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make a crystal garden using salt, water, and a brick.
