In this activity, learners use oil, water, food coloring and antacid tablets to create a bubbling lava lamp. Use this activity to introduce concepts related to density, hydrophobicity vs.

During this activity, learners will make different versions of "ooze" using varied proportions of detergent and glue.

In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 5 of PDF), learners conduct an experiment to compare how much energy is released as heat from two different foods.

Learners design their own experiment to investigate how pollution diffuses through ground material.

In this activity, learners separate the components of Gatorade using a home-made affinity column.

In this activity (on page 7), learners explore the meaning of a "carbon sink." Using simple props, learners and/or an educator demonstrate how plants act as carbon sinks and how greenhouse gases cause

In this experiment, learners will conduct chemical and physical tests to identify mystery substances.

In this activity, learners examine antibodies and antibody recognition using a model.

In this activity, learners discover that there is space between molecules even in a cup "full" of water. They first fill a cup with marbles, and then add sand to fill the gaps between the marbles.

In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 1 of PDF), learners observe and quantify the growth of yeast when it is given table sugar as a food source.

In this experiment, learners will explore whether increased carbon dioxide makes our oceans more basic or more acidic.

This lesson is designed to serve as an introduction to the immune system. It can stand alone or it can lead into further studies of the immune system.

In this activity, groups of learners work together to create edible models of chemicals involved in autotrophic nutrition.

As a group, learners investigate three packages which are all the same size and shape, but have different contents. One is filled with foam, one is filled with wood, and one is filled with metal.

What does it mean to be alive? Is a cactus alive? Is a seed alive? Is the air we breathe alive? What are the necessary characteristics?

In this activity, learners design a therapeutic agent to image and/or cure various diseases in the respiratory system.

In this activity learners explore surface tension. Why are certain objects able to float on the surface of water and how do detergents break the surface tension of water?

In this activity, learners explore chemical engineering and how the processes of chemical plating and electroplating have impacted many industries.

In this activity, learners prepare four polymer elastomers and then compare their physical properties, such as texture, color, volume, density, and bounce height.

This three-part lab helps learners understand the essential principles governing diffusion and osmosis.
