Valentine’s Day Chemistry Labs

 Does your family like seasonal themes when you teach?  I don’t but admire people who do!  Okay, here and here  are Chemistry Valentines and puns.   Do you have a few acid-base indicators? Use them to make Instant Carnations and Hot and Cold Pink Color Change.   Make pink flames with metallic salts or Borax Hearts.  If you do a search you’re going to see the Vanishing Valentine; resazurin or alamarBlue is very expensive.  Few high school Chemistry teachers have the budget for this dye; college chemistry departments are much more robust.  Little Bins has these chemistry experiments for younger kiddos.  While you are making Valentines, add a little science.
