Everything is made of matter. Before we start observing chemical reactions, we need to talk about how we observe chemical reactions in a safe manner. Learn about safety procedures while you explore some simple chemistry experiments conducted by the Science Center of Iowa.

This segment is from Iowa PBS Education’s Go Beyond series. These fun, inspiring science topics will encourage young explorers to investigate the world and perform activities that show how science is at work in everyday lives. The demonstrations were recorded in partnership with and at the Science Center of Iowa.
