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 create a colorful foam fountain by adding yeast to a chemical reaction. This activity introduces chemical reactions to young learners and teaches the concept of catalysts.

In this activity, learners explore acid and bases as they create their own invisible ink out of baking soda and grape juice.

In this activity, learners make their own bath bomb fizzies and experience what happens when they mix a base and an acid.

In this activity, learners construct a rocket powered by the pressure generated from an effervescing antacid tablet reacting with water, and build a launch pad for their rocket.

In this chemistry activity, learners perform three chemical reactions in a sealed zip-top bag. Learners will record their observations and classify the changes as chemical or physical.

In this activity on page 6 of the PDF (Chemistry—It’s Elemental), learners explore some of the properties of copper using a few common household ingredients.

In this activity, learners construct and launch rockets using simple materials and their understanding of chemical reactions.

In this activity on page 6 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners investigate yeast. Learners prepare an experiment to observe what yeast cells like to eat.

In this activity, learners test exhaled breath for carbon dioxide and learn how to use an indicator as a simple way to measure pH.

This activity about density provides instructions for making a miniature "lava lite" with just salt, oil, water, and food coloring.

In this activity, learners experiment with hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, yeast, and baking soda to produce hot and cold reactions. Use this activity to demonstrate exothermic and endothermic reactions.

In this Spanish-language chemistry activity, learners use simple materials to explore how fire extinguishers work to put out fires.

Learn about chemical reactions by making a Bubble Bomb, a plastic bag you can pop with the power of fizz.

In this chemistry activity, learners transform two ingredients (4% polyvinyl alcohol solution and 4% borax solution) into gooey slime.

In this activity, learners balance chemical equations and discover the law of conservation of mass. Learners use coins to model molecules to balance the equations.
