"Nature of Dye" allows participants to create their own dyes and art while exploring how chemicals interact and how these interactions can have real-world applications.

In this chemistry meets cooking activity, learners compare the stability of egg white foams with various additives.

In this experiment, learners will explore whether increased carbon dioxide makes our oceans more basic or more acidic.

This lesson is designed to serve as an introduction to the immune system. It can stand alone or it can lead into further studies of the immune system.

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.

In this activity, learners will write a secret message that only their friends will be able to read.

Break open that used musical toy and squish some Play-Doh over the circuit boards, and you will hear some weird and distorted sounds the manufacturer never intended!

In this activity, learners explore chemical engineering and how the processes of chemical plating and electroplating have impacted many industries.

In this activity, learners investigate the basic crystal structures that metal atoms form.

In this activity, learners prepare four polymer elastomers and then compare their physical properties, such as texture, color, volume, density, and bounce height.

This three-part lab helps learners understand the essential principles governing diffusion and osmosis.

This game uses a modified Uno deck to review concepts related to stem cell research and diabetes.

Learners experiment with water gel crystals, or sodium polyacrylate crystals, which absorb hundreds of times their weight in water. When in pure water, the water gel crystals cannot be seen.

In this activity, learners are asked to examine the differences between two materials in a pair.

In this activity, learners discover that some plastics will shrink when you get them hot. Learners bake polystyrene in a regular oven and discover what happens.

Learners use a candle to investigate the products of combustion. When a glass rod is held over a lit candle, the candle flame deposits carbon on the rod.

Learners match puzzle pieces to outlines of a DNA strand. The puzzle pieces represent the four chemicals making up DNA base pairs: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine.

In this activity, learners take on the role of a carbon atom and record which reservoirs in the carbon cycle they visit.
