In this activity that can be used as a lab or demonstration, learners use Lactaid® and lactose to demonstrate the concept of enzyme action.

In this activity (page 10), learners explore how molecules self-assemble according to forces of attraction and repulsion.

In this activity, learners use marshmallows and gum drops to construct seven models of molecules. Learners classify (solid, liquid or gas) and draw diagrams of the molecules.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Stained Glass Activity) about nanotechnology making its way into everyday products, such as sunscreen, and how effective these invisible particl

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

In this chemistry activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will see that chewing is more than just the crushing up of food; there is actually a chemical change going on at the same time.

Learners make their own acid-base indicator from red cabbage. They use this indicator to test substances around the house.

In this activity, learners use oil, water, food coloring and antacid tablets to create a bubbling lava lamp. Use this activity to introduce concepts related to density, hydrophobicity vs.

In this activity, learners separate materials based on their special properties to mimic the way recyclables are sorted at recycling centers.

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

"Molecules in Motion" explores how materials behave and change in a vacuum.

In this activity, learners explore the flexibility of polymer chains by pushing sharpened pencils through a Ziploc bag.

In this chemistry meets cooking activity, learners make carbonated, vanilla ice cream using dry ice and denatured ethanol, which are both inexpensive and accessible.

In this activity, learners will explore how water affects marker on filter paper. Learners will use science process skills such as making observations and predictions as they explore color.

In this activity, learners investigate soil erosion. Learners set up a simulation to observe how water can change the land and move nutrients from one place to another.

In this activity, learners mix water, cooking oil, and liquid food coloring to create beautiful colored designs in a cup. Use this activity to explore liquid density and solubility.

Using household materials, learners can make white gooey globs from clear solutions. Alum, dissolved in water, reacts with the hydroxide in ammonia to create aluminum hydroxide.

Learners place water and part of an antacid tablet in a film canister. The reaction creates a gas reaction that launches the film canister like a rocket.

In this activity, groups of learners work together to create edible models of chemicals involved in autotrophic nutrition.

In this activity (4th activity on the page), learners test to see if saliva is necessary for food to have taste.
