  Lab: Chemical Weathering of Rocks Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)

  In this lab, students will explore simulated reactions that contribute to chemical weathering of certain rocks as it appears in nature.  They will compare the effects of two different chemicals as it contacts various rock and mineral samples.

• 

  Phase Changes, Physical Change, Observations, Temperature | Elementary School, Middle School

  Lab: Condensation Mark as Favorite (2 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will explore the process of condensation. Students will investigate how water vapor condenses, and then they will conduct a comparison test to see if cooling water vapor has an effect on the rate of condensation.

  Lesson Plan: Explorations of Baking Soda and Vinegar Mark as Favorite (8 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.

  Demonstration: Make a Cake! Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)

  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.

• 

  Physical Properties, Observations, Mixtures | Elementary School

  Lab: Ferromagnetic Fluid Mark as Favorite (2 Favorites)

  In this lab students will investigate the properties of ferromagnetic fluid and magnetism. Students will also have the opportunity to complete research about magnetic properties to help answer analysis questions.

  Mixtures, Polarity, Observations, Physical Properties | Elementary School

  Demonstration: Colorful Milk Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)

  In this demonstration, students will observe as the teacher creates several colorful mixtures. Using food coloring, water and milk, students will watch the colors swirl and mix. Students will have the opportunity to make a prediction about what will happen to the colors when a sample of soap is introduced to the mixture.
