  Measurements, Volume | Elementary School

  Activity: Understanding Volume Measurements Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)

  In this activity, students will use base ten-centimeter blocks to fill containers in order to understand the concept of volume. Through discussion and review of the data, the teacher will lead them to discover the formula for determining volume.

  Chemical Change, Volume | Elementary School, Middle School

  Lab: Air Bag Design Challenge Mark as Favorite (13 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will learn how chemistry is used in air bags. Students will model the inflation of an air bag by performing a series of reactions using baking soda and vinegar in a Ziploc bag. During this investigation, students will see that there is a relationship between the inflation size of the bag and the amount of reactants used. Finally, students will be challenged to design an air bag that can help an egg endure a crash test.

  Temperature, Heat, Temperature | Elementary School, Middle School

  Demonstration: An Uplifting Experience Mark as Favorite (2 Favorites)

  In this demonstration, students will investigate what happens to air when it is heated.

• 

  Molecular Motion, Density, Density, Temperature | Elementary School

  Lab: Observing Density of Gases and Liquids Mark as Favorite (2 Favorites)

  Students will learn about and discuss the behavior of a gas using examples of convection and an optional teacher-led demonstration. Students will then participation in a lab where they will investigate water currents by observing the results of mixing colored warm water with room temperature water. The lab will be followed by a discussion about the molecular activity of the water mixture.

• 

  Pressure, Temperature | Elementary School, Middle School

  Demonstration: EGGsperiment Mark as Favorite (5 Favorites)

  In this demonstration, students will learn how temperature change affects air pressure, while observing an egg getting sucked into a bottle without being touched!

• 

  Heat, Temperature, Temperature | Elementary School

  Demonstration: Global Warming in a Jar Mark as Favorite (5 Favorites)

  In this demonstration students will learn about the cause and effects of global warming. Students will research about global warming, while also comparing it to a demonstration. This will help students to better understand the effects that temperature change can have on the planet.

• 

  Temperature, Volume, Gas Laws | Elementary School, Middle School

  Demonstration: Candle Mystery Mark as Favorite (2 Favorites)

  In this demonstration, students will observe and analyze how the change in temperature of a gas can affect the volume of a gas.

• 

  Gas Laws, Pressure, Volume, History | Elementary School, Middle School, High School

  Video: Robert Boyle Video Mark as Favorite (36 Favorites)

  This video tells the story of Robert Boyle, a great chemist and discoverer of Boyle's Law, which describes the relationship between pressure and volume of a gas.

• 

  Density, Density, Chemical Change, Observations, Chemical Change, Combustion | Elementary School, Middle School

  Demonstration: Investigating Gas Density Mark as Favorite (8 Favorites)

  In this demonstration, students will observe a reaction between baking soda and vinegar in the presence of a burning candle. The initial environment has plenty of oxygen present in order to sustain the candle’s flame; however the reaction will produce carbon dioxide which will cause the lit candle to extinguish. Students will analyze the outcome and compare the presence of the gases in the container and make determinations about the densities of each.

• 

  Pressure | Elementary School

  Demonstration: The Power of Air Pressure Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

  In this demonstration, students will learn to appreciate the power of air pressure.

• 

  Gas Laws, Pressure, Volume | Elementary School

  Lab: The Growing Marshmallow Mark as Favorite (3 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will investigate the relationship between volume and pressure of a gas, using a plastic syringe and a marshmallow.

• 

  Chemical Change, Density, Chemical Change, Density | Elementary School, Middle School, High School

  Demonstration: Fire Extinguisher Mark as Favorite (17 Favorites)

  In this demonstration, students will observe a chemical reaction, and see how the product can be used to extinguish a fire.

• 

  Chemical Change, Pressure, Reaction Rate, Acid Base Reactions, Chemical Change, Conservation of Matter | Elementary School, Middle School

  Lab: Rocket Challenge Mark as Favorite (6 Favorites)

  In this lab, students will have the opportunity to construct a rocket, with the challenges of both designing it and preparing a chemical reaction for its “fuel” in order to propel the rocket over the furthest distance. Students will investigate available materials, quantities and ratios during allotted planning and testing phases. Student will record their plans, modifications and designs during the process. The lab will culminate with a competition amongst students to see whose rocket will travel the longest distance.

• 

  Gas Laws, Volume, Temperature, Pressure | High School, Elementary School, Middle School

  Demonstration: Egg-citing Gas Laws Mark as Favorite (8 Favorites)

  In this demonstration, students will observe how changing the temperature of a gas will affect the pressure of the gas through an engaging demonstration using a heat source, water vapor and a hard-boiled egg.

• 

  Conservation of Matter, Pressure | Elementary School

  Lab: Alka-Seltzer Rockets Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)

  In this lab, students will conduct a chemical reaction that will be used to launch a rocket.
