Polymers: Making Silly Putty
Putty is proof that learning can be fun! Share the wonderful world of polymers with your class through an experiment. Young scientists create their own silly putty, then examine its properties.
Curated OER
Introduction to Neutraliization
Learners explore acids and bases and the process of neutralization.T hey practice volume measurements and observe the neutralization of an acid
directly through bubble formation and indirectly through indicator color changes.
