Abstract
This Activity is designed for use with National Chemistry Week 2002. The 2002 theme is "Chemistry Keeps Us Clean". The Activity allows students to discover more about a cleaning product they use everyday. Students make their own toothpaste and compare its properties with those of commercial toothpaste. The cleaning power of the two toothpastes are compared by testing their ability to remove food coloring from egg shells.
