In this two-part activity about luminescence, learners explore the chemistry that happens inside glow sticks and other light producing reactions.

Learners observe different light sources, outdoors and indoors, using prism glasses (diffraction glasses) and color filters.

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

In this activity, learners build models of atoms and molecules, then consider their role in different phases of matter, density, and mixtures and solutions.

In this four-part activity, learners explore how the body works and the chemistry that happens inside living things.

In this chemistry activity, learners use thin layer chromatography to determine the molecular composition of different markers.

In this activity, learners make a paper model of a polymer, then make Silly Putty, an actual polymer.

In this activity, learners investigate the effect of heat on a reaction.
