Take your students on an investigation to determine some of the basic rules of solubility. This experiment challenges students to identify patterns within the experiment and then apply that knowledge...
During the nineteenth century, a Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev, began constructing a table of the elements. The work of Mendeleev allows us to understand that the periodic table of the...
Performing liquid-liquid extractions allows students to apply their knowledge of the properties of molecules. Students will learn how the properties of solubility can be utilized to separate two solids in...
Amino acids are the fundamental building blocks of all proteins. Often times scientists may need to identify the amino acid contained in a protein. One such method for separating and...
Crude oil is a complex mixture of many useful hydrocarbons such as gasoline, kerosene, butane, and motor oil. In order to be of use, these hydrocarbons must first be separated...
The flame test is an analytical technique often used for the identification of certain elements, primarily metal ions. The color of the flame is observed and the spectra of light...
The experiments in this kit have been designed to introduce students to the concept of molarity. Students will first try to make a solution with a specific molarity demonstrating the...
The activity in this kit is designed to introduce students to the concepts of ionic reactions. Students will test a series of microscale chemical combinations watching for reactions. The contents...
The activities in this kit focus on developing a better understanding of what is matter and what the different types of properties are. Students perform a series of experiments focusing...
The periodic table is more than just a list of elements. The activities in this kit focus on developing a better understanding of why periodic trends occur in the elements....
A major challenge for any scientist is identifying what and how much of something is in a solution. One of the most common measurement techniques used is titration. The activities...
Chemical reactions take place all around us. Being able to identify reactions and communicate what is happening is vital to the scientific community. This kit will introduce two common types...
The three major classes of matter are elements, compounds and mixtures. The differences between these three classifications is the focus of this lab activity. Students will do three lab activities...
Chemical reactions vary greatly. For example, some chemicals react extremely fast like an explosion, while others, like rusting metal, can react over a long period of time. Understanding the factors...
How do scientists identify an unknown solution? What makes one solution different from another? The experiments in this kit will help students understand the impact different chemicals have when added...
Explore the Periodic Table of Elements with the Chemical Element Observation Set. Students will study the similarities and differences between these elements. Each element is packaged in a break resistant...
Understand the importance of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids in living organisms. Students will learn to identify a positive test result for proteins using biuret reagent, examine the reaction between Benedict’s...
In this lab, you will gain an understanding of the basic differences between the properties of acids and bases, learn the role of hydrogen and hydroxide ions in acids and...
Polymers affect every aspect of our daily lives. From the plastics we use to the clothes we wear; polymer chemistry is everywhere. In this kit, students will perform three fun...
Most physical and chemical reactions that involve the release of light energy also involve the release of heat energy. One unique and interesting form of light-emitting reaction is called chemiluminescence,...
Allow students to see how chemistry can be used in a beneficial manner. Most students are probably familiar with heat packs, or hand warmers. Utilizing the release of chemical energy,...
When chemical reactions absorb heat the environment around the reaction becomes colder. Students will create an endothermic reaction and monitor the change in temperature as the reaction occurs. Students will...
