  • Creating a Colloid

    Book Chapter |

    In this activity, students will create a substance that does not clearly fall into the categories of solid, liquid, gas, or plasma.

  • Average Atomic Mass Simulation

    Book Chapter |

    In this activity, students will use a large number of small objects to find the average mass of the objects.

  • Reaction Rate

    Book Chapter |

    In this activity, students will dissolve pieces of Alka-Seltzer tablets in water after crushing them and heating the water, and then time how long the reaction takes to complete.

  • Molecular Motion and Temperature

    Book Chapter |

    In this activity, students will see how the rate of diffusion varies in cold, room temperature, and hot water.

  • Boiling Water in a Syringe

    Book Chapter |

    In this activity, students will make warm water boil by reducing the pressure inside a syringe

  • Lifting an Ice Cube With a String

    Book Chapter |

    In this activity, students will lift an ice cube by sprinkling salt over a string on the ice.

  • Chemical Formula Simulations

    Book Chapter |

    In this activity, students will construct molecules out of papers they cut out to determine the chemical formula and the method for writing chemical formulas.

  • Chemical Reaction Simulation

    Book Chapter |

    In this activity, students will use their ion pieces to simulate the finishing and balancing of chemical equations.
