Many chemistry teachers face the challenge of bringing motivating lessons and demonstrations to their students on a limited budget. ChemEDX and the <i>Journal of Chemical Education</i> provide a wealth of activities that use only simple, inexpensive, and easy-to-obtain materials. The use of such familiar materials in a hands-on manner provides students with accessible connections to important scientific concepts such as measurement, significant figures, molecular polarity, solubility, Beer’s Law, and redox reactions. Popular activities such as “Build a Boat (and a Classroom Culture)" will be covered. In addition, a few activities related to the chemistry of outer space will be discussed.
