Density: Make a golf ball float!
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF), the learner places a golf ball between salt water and colored fresh water. The golf ball is not as dense as the saltwater.

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.

Layered Liquids: Chemistry You Can Drink
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make a layered drink with liquids of different densities.

Trading Places
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that atoms and ions of different metals will change places.

What's Your Blood Type?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners perform a simulated blood test procedure.

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.

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.

All Mixed Up!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners separate a mixture of pebbles, salt crystals, and wood pieces. They add water and pour the mixture through a strainer.

Forwards and Backwards
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore acids and bases by preparing six solutions that combine vinegar and ammonia, ranging from acid (all vinegar) to base (all ammonia).

Resistance is Useful
Source Institutions
Learners write or draw with white crayon on white paper. They look and feel to detect their marks on the paper. Then, learners paint over their paper with watercolor paint.

Currently Working
Source Institutions
Learners test solutions of water, sugar, salt, and hydrochloric acid for electrical conductivity. They immerse leads from a lighting device (a battery pack connected to an LED) into each solution.

See the Light
Source Institutions
Learners mix a solution of luminol with hydrogen peroxide to produce a reaction that gives off blue light.
