Is it a physical or chemical change? Decide for yourself with demonstrations that produce hot and cold reactions, show color changes using acid/base indicators, and release energy in the form of light. Discover how chemistry is part of everyday science from the products you choose to the fireworks you watch on the Fourth of July!

Science Grade Level Expectations (GLEs)
Students discover how waves are part of their daily lives from sound to water to light and energy. Vibrations made on a spring introduce students to the parts of a wave and demonstrate the relationship between frequency and wavelength. They will observe how faster frequency waver waves result in shorter wavelengths. Using sound waves, students learn how frequency and wavelength determine the pitch.
