In this activity, learners make "totally tubular" forms of carbon. Learners use chicken wire to build macro models of carbon nanotubes.

In this activity, learners explore how ordinary marshmallows expand when heated in a microwave.

In this activity, learners use simple materials to create giant bubbles.

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 build a simple qualitative conductivity tester with a battery, bulb and foil.

In this classic hands-on activity, learners estimate the length of a molecule by floating a fatty acid (oleic acid) on water.

Ocean acidification is a big issue due to the amount of carbon dioxide humans release. CO2 in the atmosphere is absorbed into the ocean thus changing its acidity.

This is a great activity about human energy production. Learners will work out with a clothespin to investigate why hockey players jump on a stationary bike after an intense game.

In this activity, learners calculate the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere by using steel wool's ability to rust.

In this activity, learners cook amino acids and sugar to explore the range of aromas released.

In this activity, learners follow a recipe to make hollandaise sauce. Learners discover how cooks use egg yolks to blend oil and water together into a smooth mix.

In this activity, learners measure the amount of carbon dioxide in a carbonated drink.

In this activity, learners touch supercooled water drops with an ice crystal and trigger the water drops to freeze instantly.

The Ancient Egyptians used a naturally-occurring salt from the banks of the Nile River, called natron, to mummify their dead.

In this two-part activity, learners use everyday materials to visualize one mole of gas or 22.4 liters of gas. The first activity involves sublimating dry ice in large garbage bag.

In this activity, learners separate the components of Gatorade using a home-made affinity column.

In this activity, learners use a chemical reaction to visualize where moisture forms on the body.

In this quick activity, learners drink Avogadro's number worth of molecules - 6.02x10^23 molecules!

In this demonstration, cook a cake using the heat produced when the cake batter conducts an electric current.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to find out if steel wool will weigh more or less when it is burned. Learners will explore the effects of oxidation and rusting on the steel wool.
