  Solubility, Solute & Solvent, Reaction Rate, Physical Change | Elementary School

  Lab: M&M's Solution Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)

  In this lab, students will investigate dissolving using M&M’s and will determine whether dissolving happens faster without assistance, or with the assistance of the tongue and teeth.

  Chemical Change, Chemical Change, Physical Change, Observations, Indicators | Elementary School

  Lesson Plan: Explorations of Baking Soda and Vinegar Mark as Favorite (3 Favorites)

  In this lesson, students complete a series of simple lab experiments to better understand chemical reactions as well as differentiate between chemical change and physical change. Students will also be introduced to the pH scale, and have the opportunity to understand how chemical reactions can be used in real-world scenarios.

• 

  Separating Mixtures, Observations, Physical Properties, Conservation of Matter | Elementary School

  Activity: How is Chemistry Used in Your Everyday Life? Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)

  In this lesson the students will become familiar with some ways that chemistry is present in their everyday lives. The teacher will read a book and show a short video about how a plastic bottle is made. Following these activities, students will interact with a variety of materials made of plastic, ultimately organizing them according to the recycling code printed on the bottom of each or by physical properties. Finally students will collect data and have an opportunity to construct a graph based on their data.

• 

  Chemical Change, Phase Changes, Combustion, Observations | Elementary School, Middle School

  Demonstration: The Jumping Flame Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)

  In this demonstration, students will observe that the vapor of an extinguished candle flame is ignitable.

  Lab: Teeth Eggsperiment! Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this lab students will observe and analyze how different drinks can stain an egg’s shell. They will then associate the results with how these drinks can stain their teeth.

• 

  Conservation of Matter, Matter, Interdisciplinary, Renewable Energy | Elementary School

  Lab: Reuse, Reduce and Recycle! Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this lab students will explore ways to conserve natural resources. They will then have the opportunity to create their own recycled paper that can be used in the classroom.

• 

  Phase Changes, Photosynthesis, Renewable Energy | Elementary School, Middle School

  Lab: Mini Terrarium Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)

  In this lab, students will learn that even the smallest spaces can have their own climate. They will create a miniature sized terrarium and will observe how sunlight enters in order to warm the air, and in turn heat the soil and seeds. Condensation will build up in the container and the students can observe the water cycle in action, as well as the growth of the seeds over time.

  Chemical Change, Chemical Change, Physical Change, Observations | Elementary School

  Demonstration: Make a Cake! Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this demonstration, students will learn about chemical reactions by observing the differences when 4 small cakes are baked. Each recipe will differ slightly in that one important ingredient will be left out in 3 of the 4 mixtures. Students will observe and discuss what happens when things are missing or left out of a mixture and how that effects the chemical reaction.

• 

  Concentration, Solute & Solvent, Chemical Change | Elementary School, Middle School

  Demonstration: Soft Eggs Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)

  In this demonstration, students will first observe a reaction between vinegar (acetic acid) and an egg shell (calcium carbonate) to produce a naked egg. Using these eggs, student will analyze how certain substances can move through a membrane and also determine if the membrane is affected.
