Learners are challenged to discover the relative densities of colored liquids to create a rainbow pattern in a test tube.

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.

In this activity, learners use pop-beads to understand the characteristics and properties of polymer chains.

In this chemistry lab activity, learners model the colors of fireworks by burning metallic solutions in a flame and observing the different colors produced.

In this activity (pages 17-31), learners are introduced to techniques that are used to determine the structures of solid materials.

Learners experiment with a commercially available liquid-crystal coaster. They warm the material with their hands for varying lengths of time and observe the changing colors that result.

In this activity, learners make their own heat waves in an aquarium.

This is an activity exploring color and color mixing.

Everybody loves bubbles, and this is the best bubble recipe ever!

In this activity, learners explore liquid crystal thermometers to observe how heat flows by conduction, convection, radiation, and evaporation.

In this activity (pages 32-41), learners learn how the atomic and molecular arrangement of matter are related to physical properties.

In this four-part activity, learners explore light and sound through a variety of hands-on investigations.

In this activity (pages 42-49), learners discover the methods and challenges of building nanoscale structures with macroscale equipment.

In this activity on page 13 of the PDF, use a special plastic card that has been painted with a chemical that changes color when it is in UV light.

In this art meets chemistry activity, early learners discover the almost magical absorbent properties of salt while creating ethereal watercolor paintings.

In this activity best suited as a demonstration, learners observe that when a piece of iron gets too hot, it loses its ability to be magnetized.
