Say Cheese!
Source Institutions
Create a chemical reaction that makes cheese! This hands-on activity demonstrates that molecules and atoms are tiny particles that make up everything around us.
Soda Explosion
Source Institutions
This hands-on activity lets participant explore chemical reactions as they create a soda explosion with lots of bubbles. The bubbles in soda are made of carbon dioxide gas.
Underwater Fireworks
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate diffusion by creating underwater "fireworks" using food coloring, oil and water.
Great Balls of Goop
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mix white craft glue and borax solution together to produce a surprising new material: GOOP!
Surface Tension
Source Institutions
In this activity exploring liquid dynamics, learners design and build a clay channel in a tray of water and then see what happens when food coloring and liquid soap are added to the mix.
Scream for Ice Cream
Source Institutions
Don't scream for ice cream -- make it with milk, sugar, flavoring and some 'salt-water' ice. Discover the chemistry of ice cream by creating your own.
What Molecules Make the Holes in Bread?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will discover why there are holes in bread.
Got Gas?
Source Institutions
Create gas with a glass of water, some wire, conductors and a battery! You will be separating water (H2O) into oxygen and hydrogen.
Pepper Scatter
Source Institutions
In this quick activity, learners break the tension that happens when water develops a "skin." Learners use water, pepper and some soap to discover the wonders of surface tension—the force that attract
Wind Power: Creating a Wind Generator
Source Institutions
This lesson challenges groups of learners to design and construct a wind generator with the most electrical output.
Mini Vortex
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build an air cannon out of simple materials you can find around the house. Although air is invisible to the eye, it is not by any means empty space!
Mummy Magic
Source Institutions
Make your own mummy! Using a combination of salts, transform an apple into a mummy and discover how the Ancient Egyptians used drying as one step in the mummification process.
Turbidity
Source Institutions
This is an activity about turbidity, or the amount of sediment suspended in water.
Water Cycle in a Bag
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a biosphere in a baggie.
Balloon Car
Source Institutions
Build a car that runs on air. Using household materials, experiment with the power of air to create thrust powerful enough to move a homemade car.
