The interactive portion of the module consists of two experiments, the "Can Crusher Experiment" and the "Water & Candles".
In the can crush experiment students will heat up an aluminum can with a little bit of water inside, the can can be filled by the observer. After some minutes, we drastically change its temperature by placing it in a bowl of cold water. The difference in temperature, hot and cold, will make the can implode immediately. Being such a visual representation of the interaction between pressure, volume and temperature, the observers will be asked to do...

Snow White's unforgettable entanglement with a poisoned apple has been a source of fascination for generations, capturing imaginations with its dark allure. But what if that very apple, once associated with danger, could be transformed into a powerful agent of protection and well-being? This abstract presents an awe-inspiring revelation: a sanitizer derived from the very fruit that once plunged Snow White into an eternal slumber. Sanitizers, derived from the word "sanitize+er”, are widely used substances or products designed to mitigate the presence of harmful...

Taking steps to reduce the urban heat island (UHI) effect makes sense for both sustainability and quality of life. Learn more about the effect and what steps can be taken.
In this module, students will get to see a real-world application of electrochemistry (covered in the curriculum of 11th grade students). They will get to anodize titanium to make coatings with different colors when the voltage is changed.
