Chromatography Can Separate!
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners use thin layer chromatography to determine the molecular composition of different markers.
Separation Anxiety
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover the primary physical properties used to separate pure substances from mixtures.
Atoms and Matter (3-6)
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build models of atoms and molecules, then consider their role in different phases of matter, density, and mixtures and solutions.
Mystery Powders
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 2 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners conduct chemical tests on certain powders used in cooking.
Rocket Reactions
Source Institutions
The "Rocket Reactions" activity is an exciting way to learn about how materials interact, behave, and change.
Toy Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this playful, goopy activity, learners mix two liquids to create a solid (that sometimes acts like a liquid ), using basic household materials such as borax and glue.
Choose Your Ooze
Source Institutions
During this activity, learners will make different versions of "ooze" using varied proportions of detergent and glue.
Atoms and Matter (K-2)
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore atoms as the smallest building blocks of matter. With adult help, learners start by dividing play dough in half, over and over again.
Polishing Pennies
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners try different liquids to see which ones clean pennies best. Liquids to try include water, lemon juice, cola, vinegar, and dishwashing detergent.
Water Ways
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners explore surface tension by adding pennies to cups which are "full" of plain water or soapy water.
Burst a Bubble
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create their own bubble solution. Learners will explore chemistry, geometry and trial and error through this activity.
Plaster Casts
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners combine two substances (plaster of Paris and water) to make a cast of an object's imprint in clay.
