Illuminations on Rates of Reactions
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the speed of chemical reactions with light sticks. Learners discover that reactions can be sped up or slowed down due to temperature changes.
Conductivity Meter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a simple qualitative conductivity tester with a battery, bulb and foil.
Five-Layer Density Column
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners can create five-layer density columns by employing one of three (or all) methods.
Stability of Egg White Foams
Source Institutions
In this chemistry meets cooking activity, learners compare the stability of egg white foams with various additives.
Piezoelectric One-Way Remote
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a device out of a piezoelectric igniter, like those used as barbecue lighters.
Kosher Dill Current: Make Your Own Battery!
Source Institutions
This is an activity that demonstrates how batteries work using simple household materials. Learners use a pickle, aluminum foil and a pencil to create an electrical circuit that powers a buzzer.
Indicating Electrolysis
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a simple electrolysis device. Then learners use an indicating solution to visualize hydrogen and oxygen molecules in water.
Milk Makes Me Sick: Exploration of Lactose Intolerance
Source Institutions
Why does milk make some people sick? In this activity learners explore this question and explore the chemistry of milk, and our bodies!
Sodium Acetate Hand Warmers
Source Institutions
In this activity, sodium acetate hand warmers are used to introduce learners to supersaturated solutions, crystallization, and exothermic reactions.
Laser Jello
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use gelatin as a lens to investigate the properties of laser light.
Having a Gas with Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a simple electrolysis device. With this device, learners can decompose water into its elemental components: hydrogen and oxygen gas.
