The Colors of Flowers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners perform an experiment to find out what determines a flower's color.
Test the Finger Wrinkle Hypothesis
Source Institutions
Learners create a tool to measure how well they grip a wet object when their fingers are smooth versus wrinkly. Are smooth or wrinkly fingers better at holding on to the object?
Capturing Carbon Dioxide
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate carbon sequestration by creating a carbonated beverage out of apple juice and dry ice.
Delicious Smelling Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use household materials to investigate and explore their ability to smell an odor.
Use Clues to Solve an Ice Mystery
Source Institutions
