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.

Water Filtration: Small Changes Make a DifferenceErica K. Jacobsen This Connections article highlights two suggestions to supplement JCE Classroom Activity #60: Water Filtration. Jacobsen, Erica K. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 892.
Suds or Duds? In this activity students investigate the effect of hard water on soap. They compare soap in water with soap in water plus Epsom salt. Epsom salt is made of a chemical called magnesium sulfate. When magnesium sulfate is dissolved in water and added to soapy water, the magnesium combines with the soap. This combination is actually a new substance that doesn't dissolve well in water. The common name for this substance is soap scum. Since it can't dissolve in water, the soap in the soap scum can't get back into the water and can't make bubbles.

Drinking Bird (GCMP)David M. Whisnant Drinking Bird: this is a resource in the collection "General Chemistry Multimedia Problems". The drinking bird's felt-covered head dips into the beaker of water as it bobs up and down. The tube goes from the bottom of the body to its head. 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.

Electrolisis 1 (GCMP)David M. Whisnant Electrolisis of Water #1: this is a resource in the collection "General Chemistry Multimedia Problems". In this problem we will contrast the electrolysis of water with boiling. 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.
