Polymers!

 One of the most popular chemistry labs is Polymers.  Here is an earlier post with loads of links for chemistry labs.  Another related activity is Power Balls!  Kids make their own super balls.  Here is an Instructables project to make molecules from polymer clay.  (My class does the Polymer labs and builds the molecules during a unit of Organic Chemistry.). Here are 27 polymer ideas from Terrific Science.  I look for sales, such as this one, Power Ball kit, from Michaels.  Pick out three or four polymer labs to try the next time the kids say they are bored.
