Answer:
I'm not a chemistry teacher or anything but I'll give you a few suggestions.
Gas Laws you could probably use tire or balloon inflation and explain how an increase/ decrease in temperature would affect the mileage that you could get on your vehicle. I'm sure you could come up with your own lab instructions for such a lab (personally, I wasn't too good with writing up procedures).
Acids/ Bases, I did a lab with aquariums for acids and bases. If you don't want to use an aquarium or don't have one, you could use acids and bases as cleaners or medicines, such as milk of magnesia to calm upset stomachs, though I doubt that you'll have an upset stomach handy.
Biological chemistry, again you could use how bases (milk of magnesia) would affect the body or how certain chemicals, sugar/ caffeine would affect the body and why.
Organic Chemistry, oils and fats. I'd simply use something like canola oil and butter and determine why/ how saturated fats (butter) are different from unsaturated fats (oil) in how they affect us and whether or not they're benficial to us.
Chemical equilibrium, hmm, not too sure I've done a lab with chemical equilibrium before but I'm sure someone else could help you with this one (sorry!).
Electro Chemistry, simply demonstrate the conductive properties of a metal, a metalloid, and a non metal to show why we use copper wiring to run electricity through our houses. Otherwise, you could show how a battery works (a bit more of a physics experiment, but it does carry over) or even create a charge between copper and zinc (voltaic cell/ battery).
Sorry that I didn't provide instructions, but I'm sure you could figure out instructions for these labs since they're relatively simple. Best of luck with whatever this is for.
