When carbon dioxide in the atmosphere dissolves into raindrops, it causes the rain to become a natural acid. It can dissolve and erode rocks: it’s acid rain. Here’s an experiment to see how chemical erosion works.

Solids with solids, solids with liquids, liquids with liquids - which can be mixed together? How can the mixtures be used? And once they’re all mixed up, can they be separated again? Explore how materials are combined for different purposes.

The context of staple food is familiar to almost everyone. Bread has been chosen as the topic for this book, but the concepts and ideas introduced here can be applied to other food preparation processes, for example, cakes, pikelets, and soft drinks.

Bill is practically exploding with excitement about the “Chemical Reactions” show.

Why did the cork pop out of the bottle? The class in this graphic story investigate acid-carbonate reactions to answer this question. They make predictions, observe what happens, and suggest a possible explanation.

This article follows a class project that students conducted after their teacher challenged them to find out how the smell gets into a scented candle. In the process, they learned about distillation, states of matter, and what it takes to become scientists and technologists.

Glue plus borax and a few basic ingredients equals a whole lot of squishy fun with this crazy putty experiment.
