Here is another great (and easy) experiment to demonstrate chemical reactions! We’ve been busy at our house with experiments with chemical reactions. With this experiment, you may find yourself asking, “which came first – the rubber egg or the rubber chicken?” (Hah! – Cheesy joke, I know.) This one falls at the top of our list of easy science experiments.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.
