This is a recording of a recent live teleclass I did with thousands of kids from all over the world. I’ve included it here so you can participate and learn, too!
We’re going to be mixing up dinosaur toothpaste, doing experiments with catalysts, discovering the 5 states of matter, and building your own chemistry lab station as we cover chemical kinetics, phase shifts, the states of matter, atoms, molecules, elements, chemical reactions, and much more. We’re also going to turn liquid polymers into glowing putty so you can amaze your friends when it totally glows in the dark. AND make liquids freeze by heating them up (no kidding) using a scientific principle called supercooling,
Materials:
- Chemistry Worksheet
- Aluminum pie plate
- Bowl
- Clear glue or white glue
- Disposable cups
- Goggles & gloves
- Hydrogen peroxide
- OPTIONAL: Instant reusable hand warmer (containing sodium acetate )
- Liquid soap
- Popsicle sticks
- Scissors or pliers
- Sodium tetraborate (also called “Borax”)
- Water bottle
- Yeast
- Yellow highlighter
- Optional: If you want to see your experiments glow in the dark, you’ll need a fluorescent UV black light (about $10 from the pet store – look in cleaning supplies under “Urine-Off” for a fluorescent UV light). UV flashlights and UV LEDs will not work.
You can find it at the hardware store (it’s expensive!) or find it online here: https://www.fxsupply.com/poly/poly.html
what ingredients do you need for the polyurethane foam? i wanted to try it Thanks!
I think sharing what you learned is the funnest part! Answering others questions helps me to learn more, while helping others learn more. Thank you so much Mrs. Aurora!
Look under the experiment videos – a lot of the videos will have a link right under the player. You are currently on the main concept videos, not the experiment videos. Try a different video further down on the list.
I dont see the the work sheets
Yes you can use glitter glue, clear glue gel… have fun!
Could you use glitter glue? Would that change anything drastically?
