I have created exploratory labs that connect their knowledge of science to real-life. These two examples combine the knowledge of science and how it is applied to art. These two activities are simple explorations of the properties of solubility.
This lab activity allows students to explore the physical properties of polarity and solubility to make lava lamps.
This is a quick video of a student doing the lab activity.
This lab ties chemistry with art. The students will test out the solubility of the food dye, the paper, and the shaving cream. They learn about how physical properties can help create works of art.Â
