Salt 'n Lighter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that as the salinity of water increases, the density increases as well. Learners prove this by attempting to float fresh eggs in saltwater and freshwater.
Cat's Meow
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners are asked to form a hypothesis about the behavior of milk as household detergents act upon it.
Physics Over the Sink: Water Glass Magic
Source Institutions
In this simple demonstration, learners investigate the properties of air pressure. Learners place an index card on top of a glass full of water, then invert the glass.
Thirsty Candle
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore the dynamics of air pressure by using a candle, a cup, and a dish of water.
Dancing Spaghetti
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners use spaghetti to explore density and chemical reactions.
DIY Elephant Toothpaste
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will experiment with catalysts to create an at-home version of elephant toothpaste.
Penny Drop
Source Institutions
In this quick activity about the properties of water (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Malformed Frogs), learners will use an eyedropper to slowly place one drop of water at a time onto a penny,
Red, White and Blue II Demonstration
Source Institutions
In this chemistry demonstration, learners investigate the rule "likes dissolve likes" by combining three, immiscible liquids to create a colorful density column.
Sock It To Me
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how sweating makes us feel cooler. Learners put on one damp sock and one dry sock and sit in front of a fan.
Swirling Milk
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners prepare two petri dishes, one filled with water and one filled with milk.
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.
Jelly Beads
Source Institutions
Learners add drops of alginate solution to a solution of calcium chloride. The alginate does not mix with the calcium chloride, but forms soft gel beads.
Sublimation Bubbles
Source Institutions
"Sublimation Bubbles" allows learners to explore how some solid materials, such as dry ice, can phase change directly from their solid to gaseous form.
