In this easy chemistry activity, learners submerge pennies in different liquids (water, lemon juice, vinegar, liquid hand soap, salt water, and baking soda mixed with water) to observe which best clea

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners follow a recipe to make a dough similar to the clay artists use to make sculptures.

In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.

In this activity, learners experiment with creating various types of bubble solutions and testing which ingredients form longer-lasting bubbles.

In this activity (on page 2 of PDF), learners mix oil and water. Then, they add soap and observe what changes! The activity demonstrates how oil and water don't mix, except when soap is added.

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners investigate ingredients that combine to produce gas bubbles.

In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners create a collage by using vinegar to transfer color pictures from a newspaper onto a piece of white paper.

Learners place multiple M&M's in a plate of water to watch what happens as the candies dissolve.

In this activity, learners discover that as the salinity of water increases, the density increases as well. Learners prove this by attempting to float fresh eggs in saltwater and freshwater.

In this experiment, learners separate different types of molecules in marker inks (using a technique called "thin layer chromatography").

In this lab activity, learners explore how to initiate a density current. Learners measure six flasks with different concentrations of salt and water (colored blue).

In this simple activity, learners see the production of a gas, which visibly fills up a balloon placed over the neck of a bottle.

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 chemistry activity, learners use guar gum to make slime. Use this activity to introduce learners to polymers, viscosity, and colloids.

In this activity, learners experiment with different variables in making hollandaise sauce to achieve the correct texture and consistency.

In this chemistry activity (page 1 of PDF SciGirls Activity: Milk Carton Boat), learners will create a blob of stretchable funny putty out of a water, borax, and glue mixture.

Learners conduct a simple experiment to model and explore the harmful effects of acid rain (vinegar) on living (green leaf and eggshell) and non-living (paper clip) objects.

In this activity, learners investigate diffusion by creating underwater "fireworks" using food coloring, oil and water.

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

In this chemistry activity, learners are asked to form a hypothesis about the behavior of milk as household detergents act upon it.
