Matter on the Move
Source Institutions
Learners observe and conduct experiments demonstrating the different properties of hot and cold materials.
Create Gas
Source Institutions
Learners mix vinegar and baking soda together in a bottle to create a chemical reaction. The reaction produces a gas, carbon dioxide, which inflates a balloon attached to the mouth of the bottle.
Shake It Up!
Source Institutions
Learners observe a sealed container holding a clear colorless liquid. They shake the container and the fluid turns blue. When allowed to sit for a few moments, the fluid turns colorless again.
As The Stomach Churns
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners fill two test tubes with a solution of "artificial stomach fluid," consisting of hydrochloric acid in the same concentration as in human stomachs, some soap to cre
Air, It's Really There
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on molecular motion in gases. Learners compare the mass of a basketball when it is deflated and after it has been inflated.
Bernoulli Levitator
Source Institutions
Demonstrate the Bernoulli Principle using simple materials on a small or large scale.
What Causes Pressure?
Source Institutions
In this kinesthetic activity that demonstrates pressure, learners act as air molecules in a "container" as defined by a rope.
A Mole of Gas
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity, learners use everyday materials to visualize one mole of gas or 22.4 liters of gas. The first activity involves sublimating dry ice in large garbage bag.
Gas Model
Source Institutions
This highly visual model demonstrates the atomic theory of matter which states that a gas is made up of tiny particles of atoms that are in constant motion, smashing into each other.
Balloon in a Flask
Source Institutions
Learners observe a flask with a balloon attached over the mouth and inverted inside the flask.
Reaction: Yes or No?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mix ingredients in a plastic bag, and then identify three characteristics of a chemical reaction: production of heat, color change, and production of a gas.
Mystery Matter
Source Institutions
This interactive demonstration reintroduces learners to three states of matter (solid, liquid, gas), and introduces them to a fourth state of matter, plasma.
Four of the States of Matter
Source Institutions
This kinesthetic science demonstration introduces learners to four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
