Chemistry in the classroom can be creative and engaging. Today we experience a fun, interacting and engaging activity in which we mixed chemicals, observed, made theories and concluded about the mixture of the chemicals. Engaging students in Chemistry or any other science activity requires a "hook." This "hook" is an activity that grabs the students' interests and produces an engaging, productive lesson. The "hook" for todays class was reading about the various mixtures of chemicals in objects that we see in our every day life. For example, when apples turn brown this is a chemical reaction. Reading about real objects "hooked" us into asking questions about chemical reactions and caught our interest in participating in the activity. In chemistry activity, we mixed various chemicals and tested the mixture to observe the reaction and what caused the reaction.
