Miniature oil spill cleanup using surfactants and dispersants to show how oil spills can cleaned up most effectively.

Amidst the turbulent waters of the Galapagos Islands, a group of tourists are about to embark on an epic challenge. Their mission: to sail from one island to another so they can witness the majesty of the giant tortoises. 

This thrilling task is known as "Nautical Adventures in the Galapagos Islands." A challenge that will require ingenuity, creativity, and, of course, a touch of science. Let's join them on this journey of discovery and experimentation. 

In this experiment, our bottles will simulate large ships that will help accomplish a great challenge by...

Students will explore how temperature, surface area, and agitation will affect dissolution rate through a series of "tasks". In each task, students will demonstrate and observe how to dissolve different solutes as quickly as possible. ...

The main goal of this project is to explain in an easy and interesting way what resins and polymers are, and how they can be used in many different ways. We want to show how these flexible materials can help make useful things and fun projects. Also, we'll talk about how to use them safely, so everyone can learn about them, whether they're just starting to explore these ideas or want to know more about this topic.

Using photoreactive and thermo-responsive gel nail polish, this activity will demonstrate the scientific properties of polymers, photopolymerization, exothermic reactions, cross-linking, and oxygen inhibition. ...

Currently, fossil gasses are the primary pollutants that we produce. For this reason, it's important to learn about alternative methods that  are aligned with the UN's goal of creating affordable and clean forms of energy. The goal is to comprehend the process of generating energy using water, achieved through the construction of a hydraulic generator. This generator operates by harnessing the kinetic energy present in the movement of water and converting it into electrical energy. The ultimate aim is to utilize this electrical energy to illuminate a cardboard house....

Learning about material science concepts through sodium alginate beads. In this module, kids will watch gel beads form before their eyes while learning about polymers, hydrogels, diffusion, and more!

The Floating Ink Experiment explores the concepts of surface chemistry, density, and flocculation explained in simple terms for young students to understand. On a smooth surface dish, the young student will lightly draw a picture of what they desire with an expo marker and with a sharpie. Then, the student will slowly pour water onto the smooth surface dish. The water will cause the expo marker drawing to float on top of the water, while the sharpie drawing will stay attached to the dish. ...

We will be demonstrating the effects of solvents and solutes through a variety of demonstrations. These demonstrations will include the dissolving of polystyrene in acetone, sharpie ink in ethanol, salt in water and the (failed solvation of Vaseline in water) among other solutions. ...

This module walks through what a colloid is, what an emulsion is, how colloids and emulsions relate to chemical engineering, the magic milk experiment, and how the chemistry behind the experiment. ...
