Classroom Resources: Chemistry Basics

51 – 54 of 54 Classroom Resources

• 

  Observations, Mixtures, Density, Physical Properties, Mixtures | Elementary School

  Activity: Color-Works in a Jar

  Students will be using three ingredients to create a liquid color-works mixture in a jar. This is a fun chemistry project to do with young elementary students around the 4th of July or New Year’s Eve to get the children excited about fireworks.

• 

  Polymers, Physical Properties, Introduction, Observations | Elementary School

  Activity: Bouncy Ball

  In this activity, students explore the chemical reaction between borax and glue, creating a polymer ball. The properties of the polymer ball will be analyzed and compared to a store bought bouncy ball.

• 

  Mixtures, Physical Properties, Molecular Structure, Mixtures | Elementary School, Middle School, High School

  Demonstration: Analyzing Mixtures

  In this demonstration, the teacher will create a sequence of mixtures in a single test tube. Water, oil, food coloring and soap will be used in this demonstration to introduce the concepts of heterogeneous and homogeneous solutions as well as the idea of miscibility. Students will also have the opportunity to analyze the properties, such as surface tension of each component used.

• 

  Physical Properties, Interdisciplinary, Introduction | Elementary School

  Activity: Magnificent Magnets

  In this activity, students will investigate the physical properties of magnetism.
