Challenge your students’ powers of deduction to determine which of four suspects committed several different burglaries. This module is low cost, easy to run, and versatile for a range of ages and durations.
In this module, students will learn about density and its measurement via water displacement. They will employ this knowledge to determine the identities of mystery metals, sleuth out whether the jewelry is real, and more!
Paper chromatography is a technique for separating out components in a mixture, such as for testing the purity of compounds. In this module, Kidizen scientists will study the composition and separation behaviors of a variety marker types and colors. They will then employ this knowledge and their chromatography skills to identify the various mystery markers from their inks alone!
A mysterious white powder! What could it be? Our young investigators will sleuth out the identities of the mystery mixtures by first building an “answer key” for how the individual “known” powders react to a variety of tests. Then they’ll use this key to figure out what pair of powders are in each unknown mixture by subjecting them to these same tests.
