Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide! A great site to give to students after chemical nomenclature. It will be interesting and amusing to see who catches on first. It also is a VERY useful example of the "pseudoscience" used to promote many products and causes (especially on the internet). Students KNOW the truth here and so it is easy to point out the half-truths.

Pop Rocks® Rock!! Pop Rocks® are a cool confectionary that, as their name suggests, “pop” in your mouth as they dissolve. Use this demo as a novel way to review the difference between physical and chemical changes in grade 9 . It could also be used in the grade 10 science courses to show that acids can be produced from non-metallic oxides like carbon dioxide.

ChemDeck This is a "Gin Rummy" type card game for reviewing chemical compounds. Players make formulas and calculate molar masses. Copy and Paste into MS Word when printing so that graphics are not cut by page end. You will need more of the last "Number cards" graphics. Print cards onto cover stock and laminate so that one isn't able to see through them.

Demonstrating the effect of CO2 on the pH of water: The bad breath indicator. The colorful demonstration that I describe is one I have performed successfully in front of elementary, middle, high school and college students. It makes an ideal addition to a chemistry demonstration show. It never fails to get a laugh, and it nicely demonstrates the acidity of CO2 and can also be used to discuss buffers. First published in the Crucible Jan. 2008
