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 demonstration, cook a cake using the heat produced when the cake batter conducts an electric current.

In this activity, learners explore the properties of metals at four stations. The stations include A) Magnetism and Breakfast Cereal; B) Conductivity of Metals; C) Alloys; and D) Metal Plating.

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from wheat germ using simple materials.

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.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Self-Assembly Activity) about self-assembly, the ability of molecules to assemble themselves according to certain rules.

In this activity, learners discover how a cabbage juice indicator helps identify acids and bases, and how iodine indicates the presence of starch.

In this challenge, learners figure out how to make a juice stain disappear.

In this activity, learners investigate carbon sequestration by creating a carbonated beverage out of apple juice and dry ice.

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF (Behind the Scenes with Chemistry), learners make some special effects, including snow and breaking glass, with supplies found in the home.

In this activity, learners make self-assembled polymer spheres.

In this chemistry activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will use milk and a few other basic ingredients to create a chemical change to make a color wheel.

In this activity on page 8 of the PDF (Behind the Scenes with Chemistry), learners make three of Harry Potter's essential school supplies: quills, ink, and color-changing paper.

In this chemistry activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will identify the instances of physical change, chemical change, and solutions while making homemade soda pop.

In this activity, learners create a necklace of wheat germ DNA. Learners add alcohol to wheat germ so that the DNA clumps together.
