In this activity, learners explore what happens when polarized white light passes through a sugar solution.

Learners design their own experiment to investigate whether the temperature of the surrounding water affects the rate at which the colored coating dissolves from an M&M.

In this quick activity, learners observe how the added sugar in a can of soda affects its density and thus, its ability to float in water.

In this colorful activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will make a multicolor density column by using different concentrations of sugar solutions.

Learners place an M&M candy in water and observe what happens. The sugar-and-color coating dissolves and spreads out in a circular pattern around the M&M.

In this kitchen chemistry activity, learners explore the chemistry of crystals by making sugar crystals, consider a common chemical reaction type responsible for the rising of muffins and cake in the

In this activity, learners will discover why there are holes in bread.

In this activity, learners add objects and substances to carbonated water to discover that added objects increase the rate at which dissolved gas comes out of solution.

In this chemistry activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will learn about crystals by growing their very own.

Learners grow sugar crystals (rock candy). They make a hot solution that has an excess of sugar dissolved in it, then as the solution cools, they see sugar crystals form.

In the related activity called "Colors Collide or Combine," learners are intrigued by the apparent "line" that forms where colors from M&M coatings meet but do not mix.

Learners analyze candy-coated sweets using chromatography. Learners use this method to separate the various dyes used to make colored candy.

Learners design their own experiment to determine which M&M color dissolves the fastest in water.

This lesson focuses on surface area and how the shape of sugar crystals may differ as they are grown from sugars of different coarseness.

In this chemistry activity (page 1 of the PDF), learners will observe a physical change.

In this activity, learners investigate whether having sugar already dissolved in water affects the speed of dissolving and the movement of sugar and color through the water.

In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners investigate how much sugar is in a soda. Learners use sugar cubes to measure and calculate the amount of sugar in a bottle of soda.

Each learner chews a piece of gum until it loses its flavor, and then leaves the gum to dry for several days.

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

In this activity, learners make colored sugar and add it to water, alcohol, and oil to discover some interesting differences in dissolving.
