In this electrochemistry activity, learners will explore two examples of electroplating.

In this activity, learners build a simple qualitative conductivity tester with a battery, bulb and foil.

In this chemistry activity, learners explore the amount of copper in a new penny. Learners use toilet bowl cleaner to hollow out the interior of a penny with zinc inside.

In this activity, learners calculate the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere by using steel wool's ability to rust.

In this activity, learners follow a recipe to make hollandaise sauce. Learners discover how cooks use egg yolks to blend oil and water together into a smooth mix.

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

In this quick activity, learners drink Avogadro's number worth of molecules - 6.02x10^23 molecules!

In this activity, learners use rice grains to model the composition of the atmosphere of the Earth today and in 1880. Learners assemble the model while measuring percentages.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to find out if steel wool will weigh more or less when it is burned. Learners will explore the effects of oxidation and rusting on the steel wool.

In this activity, learners build a simple electrolysis device. Then learners use an indicating solution to visualize hydrogen and oxygen molecules in water.

In this activity, learners use geometry to predict the shape of carbon. Learners twist and attach chenille stem pieces that represent bonds between different carbon atoms.

In this activity, learners create models of ionic compounds and observe the chemical formula of binary molecules they have created.

In this activity, learners create a model using metric measuring tapes and atmosphere composition data.

In this (edible) activity, learners balance chemical equations using different kinds and colors of candy that represent different atoms. Learners will work in pairs and explore conservation of atoms.

In this activity, learners stain fabrics--on purpose!

In this activity, learners use colored candy to represent subatomic particles and make a model of an atom (Bohr model).

In this activity, learners use pegboard and straws to build a three-dimensional model of the periodic table.

In this activity, learners construct a simple electrolysis device. With this device, learners can decompose water into its elemental components: hydrogen and oxygen gas.

In this activity, learners balance chemical equations and discover the law of conservation of mass. Learners use coins to model molecules to balance the equations.
