Make your classroom electrifying with activities and information spanning chemistry and physics content. Everything from equilibrium to electricity and reactions to rocketry at your fingertips.
It’s all about the interactions among land, water, living organisms, the atmosphere, and beyond. Mine activities, information, and helpful hints for ESS.
Teach a class like forensic science where you have to apply physics, chemistry, and biology content? We have interdisciplinary activities and tips to help.
Brush up on the latest instructional strategies and pedagogy with information from our teaching partners, instructional designers, and academic consultants.
Equilibrium and Milk of Magnesia RainbowThis demonstration shows a colorful reaction that is a good introduction to Le Châtelier’s principle, solubility, stoichiometry, neutralization reactions, and reaction rates. View »
Chemoween and Other Spooky ScienceTreat your students to some spirited demos and hands-on activities, and celebrate Halloween as the finale to your October science explorations. View »
Shaving Cream and Food Coloring ChemistryDecorating eggs is a fun and memorable way to illustrate scientific concepts and make real-world connections. This egg-speriment is appropriate for either the kitchen at home or the laboratory at school. View »
Acid-Base IndicatorsThis introduction to acid-base indicators includes a helpful table of Carolina's indicator ranges, the pH values of common household acids and bases, plus a fun "invisible ink" demonstration that you and your students will enjoy. View »
Kool-Aid® ChromatographyStudents encounter mixtures every day though they may not realize it. Use this chromatography activity to teach an important lab technique and introduce or reinforce key science terms and concepts. View »
What's the Weakest Link? Helping AP® Chemistry Students Ask the Right QuestionsAP® Chemistry: What’s the weakest link? Or play the chemistry dating game: Will they hook up or break up? Students develop an analysis plan for identifying bond types. Use our featured kit as a starting point for independent student research. See a sample student question sheet from this kit’s activities. View »
What's the Big Idea? Understanding the Laboratory Experience in the AP* Chemistry CurriculumIf you teach AP* Chemistry, you’re already aware, or need to be, that changes to the course curriculum are here, which means you’ll probably have to change your classroom instruction. To help relieve your anxiety, here’s an overview of the course revisions, some important dates to remember, and 2 ways Carolina can help to ensure your success during this transition. View »
Foaming Rainbow DemonstrationIn this demo, you add dry ice to a basic solution of dish detergent and universal indicator. As carbon dioxide is released from the solution, it forms bubbles with the dish detergent, producing a mass of foam.
