In this activity, learners use tinfoil to build and test their own boats - which designs will float, and which will sink?

In this online interactive simulation, learners will add different salts to water and then watch the salts dissolve and achieve a dynamic equilibrium with solid precipitate.

In this activity, learners mix milk, vinegar, baking soda, and water to create sticky glue. Use this activity to explain how engineers develop and evaluate new materials and products.

This activity models some of the ways natural processes, such as erosion and sediment pollution, affect Earth’s landscape.

In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their own vital lung capacities.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Chemistry—It’s Elemental), learners use iodine to identify foods that contain starch.

"Sublimation Bubbles" allows learners to explore how some solid materials, such as dry ice, can phase change directly from their solid to gaseous form.

In this hands-on science experiment, students combine their understanding of the different states of matter and the characteristics of various chemical reactions.

In this online interactive simulation, learners will test the pH of liquids like coffee, spit, and soap to determine whether each is acidic, basic, or neutral.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners explore how engineers characterize building materials.

In this activity on page 10 of the PDF, learners develop an experiment to answer the following question: "How much water can the hydrogel in a baby diaper hold?" Use this activity to explore polymers,

In this demonstration, learners discover that nanoparticles behave differently, in part because they have a high surface area to volume ratio.

In this activity (on page 8), learners model how marble statues and buildings are affected by acid rain.

In two separate bags, learners mix water with Epsom salts and detergent.
