Scattering and Absorption of Light The effects of passing light through a colloidal suspension of milk in water and through a solution of copper sulfate are shown.
"Having a Ball with Chemistry": More Things to TryThomas S. Kuntzleman, David Sellers, and Rachel Hoffmeyer An activity is described in which students test the rebound properties of superballs, racquetballs, "happy" and "sad" balls at many temperatures. Students use the results to estimate the glass transition temperature of the elastic polymer that comprises each ball, a segue into the classic demonstration of shattering a racquetball that has been immersed in liquid nitrogen. Kuntzleman, Thomas S.; Sellers, David; Hoffmeyer, Rachel. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 1478.

Fog Machines, Vapors, and Phase DiagramsEd Vitz This series of demonstrations elucidate the operation of commercial fog machines using common laboratory materials and can be adapted for elementary through tertiary levels. The formation of fogs is discussed in terms of the phase diagram for water and other chemical principles. Vitz, Ed. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 1385.
Maze: Bouncy Ball This puzzle, part of a collection from the ACS 'Science for Kids' Web site, has students follow a maze to collect various objects required to complete a science activity for making a bouncy ball (http://portal.acs.org:80/portal/fileFetch/C/WPCP_011041/pdf/WPCP_011041.pdf).

A Stickyometer Some substances are stickier than others. In this activity students investigate and measure the stickyness of various foods. They construct a device to help measure how sticky a substance is and then use it to evaluate three types of food.

Floating Squares (GCMP)David M. Whisnant Floating Squares: this is a resource in the collection "General Chemistry Multimedia Problems". In this problem we will coat a piece of notecard with graphite (from pencil lead). We then will float the piece in two beakers containing water and a second solvent. General Chemistry Multimedia Problems ask students questions about experiments they see presented using videos and images. The questions asked apply concepts from different parts of an introductory course, encouraging students to decompartmentalize the material.
