pHun with Cabbage
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners will test the pH of various foods and household substances using cabbage.
Cheese: Behold the Power of Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners conduct an experiment to get an idea of how cheese is made.
Laser Jello
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use gelatin as a lens to investigate the properties of laser light.
Yeast DNA Extraction
Source Institutions
This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from yeast using simple materials.
Hot Stuff!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that sand is the major ingredient in glass.
Sweet Speedway
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners test different food items by timing how long it takes each liquid to slide from the top of a ramp to the bottom.
Cabbage Juice Indicator
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners make indicator solution from red cabbage. Then, learners test everyday foods and household substances using the cabbage juice indicator.
Hot & Cold
Source Institutions
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.
Space Jell-O
Source Institutions
Albert Einstein proved that space bends around anything that has mass. This activity uses Jell-O's ability to bend around objects as a model for space bending around planets and stars.
Salt Painting
Source Institutions
In this art meets chemistry activity, early learners discover the almost magical absorbent properties of salt while creating ethereal watercolor paintings.
Candy Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners test multiple food items to see if they are an acid or base using an indicator solution created with red cabbage.
Making Sodium Acetate: Hot Ice
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity which should only be done under adult supervision (page 10 of the PDF), learners will create an exothermic process by making Sodium Acetate.
Starch Slime
Source Institutions
Learners mix liquid water with solid cornstarch. They investigate the slime produced, which has properties of both a solid and a liquid.
Starch Breakdown
Source Institutions
Learners use Benedict’s solution and heat to test for the presence of simple sugars in glucose, sucrose, starch, and starch combined with amylase.
Testing Vitamin C: Chemistry's Clear Solution
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 8 of the PDF, learners investigate vitamin C. Learners conduct a chemistry experiment to determine if Tang drink mix or orange juice contains more vitamin C.
Push Me a Grape
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners experiment with the attractive and repulsive power of magnets.
Cabbage Patch Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners will learn how to make their own pH indicator using cabbage leaves, and then test common household items with their homemade indicator.
Fruity-Glows: Pictures of Health on a Microarray Canvas
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 12), learners apply the concepts of pixilation and pointillism to the world of biomedical science.
