By Brittany Henderson
One "mini" lab -or shortened activity- to reinforce or introduce concepts to students. I call these activities “mini labs” because they are simple activities that do not take the whole class period.
This particular lab focuses on the observation of two chemical changes and reinforces or introduces the signs that a chemical change has taken place.
Includes: teacher information, materials list, procedures, helpful tips for facilitating the activities and student handouts/lab sheets
Materials Needed:
Graduated cylinder
Water
2 clear plastic cups
2 eye droppers
Iodine solution
Cornstarch or Potato Starch
Spoon
Vitamin C tablet (Orange Juice Concentrate can be subbed)
MS-PS1-2: Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred.

Fun with Chemistry: 20 Exciting Chemical Reaction Experiments For Kids
By Bright Classroom Ideas Marketplace
Welcome, young scientists and teachers! This eBook is full of fun and colorful experiments that show how different substances can react to create amazing effects. You will see bubbles, color changes, fizzing eruptions, and even “rockets” that zoom up into the air. As you explore these experiments, remember that science is all about asking questions, observing closely, and having fun learning about the world around us.
There are 20 exciting chemistry experiments included. They all involve simple chemical reactions that can be safely performed by kids. For each experiment, the materials are listed, and the step-by-step procedure. Finally, an explanation is given, so as to highlight the science behind the experiment.
Last but not least: All experiments must be conducted under strict adult supervision. Always wear safety goggles (or ask an adult to help you wear them) and use the experiments in a safe area where spills can be easily cleaned up.
Bubbles Science Lab - Practicing the Scientific Method!
