Learn how current research on climate change can be used in your next lesson on metric prefixes and unit conversions.
Take a walk and explore the chemical winter wonderland of snowflakes...and diamonds!
A Picture-Perfect activity for National Chemistry Week 2024!
This chemical reaction is just plain weird...but also beautiful!
How do Melissa & Doug’s “Water WOW!” Water Reveal coloring books work? Let's do some experiments to find out!
Adding dyes to salting out experiments can create a variety of interesting color effects as the dyes differentially dissolve in the aqueous and organic layers. Can this differential solubility of dyes be explained using intermolecular forces as a guide?
Pharaoh's serpent is the name of a very interesting chemical reaction that produces a snake-like foam. Unfortunately, it requires the use of a toxic mercury compound. Explore this very similar reaction that can be achieved quite simply by using fuel tablets and calcium gluconate tablets and learn a lot about the chemistry that is involved!
