Create a new world. Once you've launched Minecraft and signed in, you'll be able to create a new world for others to join with the "Education Edition" toggle enabled.
- You can't toggle this in a world that's already created, so you have to create a new world.

If you have this set to survival, you won't have the ability to toggle the education edition.

Education Edition enables chemistry features. It also introduces new blocks: the element blocks, and the chemistry blocks: Lab table, compound creator, material reducer, and element constructor. It also allows for custom crafts (which is very neat, by the way), such as the balloon, bleach, glow sticks, etc.
