Discover how fascinating the world is when you understand the remarkable reactions behind ordinary occurrences. CHEM C2000 includes everything in CHEM C1000 and more €” with twice the tools and materials, and more than three times the experiments. Most notably, this kit introduces you to the alcohol burner for experiments that require heat, greatly expanding the number of experiments you can conduct. Experiment with filtering and separating mixtures, combustion, and electrochemical reactions. Learn how to work with indicators and stronger acids and bases. Explore elements and compounds, including the chemical and physical properties of water, carbon dioxide, oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon. Discover atoms and molecules. Inspect soaps and household cleaners. Experiment with various foods from the kitchen to learn about sugars, fats, and proteins. Investigate metals such as iron, copper, and aluminum. Learn about how chemistry is used in environmental protection and industry. After completing CHEM C2000, you will have experienced firsthand the most important topics in chemistry, creating an excellent foundation for later study of chemical equations and atomic structure. The 128-page, full-color manual guides aspiring young chemists through 250 experiments. The manual provides clear instructions for preparing and performing the experiments and explains the results. Thorough safety precautions and instructions ensure safe experimentation. Professional quality equipment helps you make the most of your chemistry experiments. Ages 11 and up.
Study of the chemical composition of toothpastes. Students evaluate several toothpastes for percent of solids, pH, foam formation, abrasive action, specific substances. They use this data to make judgments about their effectiveness. Materials for 12 pairs of students. Grades 7-12.
An investigative study into the chemical nature of commercial shampoos. The student can perform the following experiments: pH determination; solid content determination; determination of flash foam formation; determination of foam retention time; determination of relative viscosity; India Ink dispersion test and determination of cost per 5 ml of shampoo. Each kit provides materials for 12 pairs of students. Grades 8-12.
Specifically designed to dramatically and vividly show the classroom a pollutant in water, this kit is designed to permit students the opportunity of determining the presence of animal waste by seeing a dramatic color change that occurs in a lactose broth, students can determine if E coli are present. Grades 7-12.
Learn concepts of air pollution and its harmful effects using one form of a common air pollutant, sulfur dioxide on experiments with plant life. This kit provides instruction, apparatus and materials to experiment with plant seedlings exposed to a sulfur dioxide atmosphere at a known concentration which produces an effect on plant life that can easily be observed within several days.
Visualize the potential contamination of groundwater. Construct mini-groundwater simulation models showing the movement of a simulated, colored pollutant. Determine under what conditions contamination occurs from a variety of sources such as spill, farms, and buried tanks and how polluted groundwater eventually reaches the drinking water supply. In the process, students learn about the water cycle, water quality, ppm and ppb pollutant contamination, porosity of soils, and other related concepts. Grades 6-10.
Observe the color and state of matter for 14 different substances. Test liquids for the presence of odor and observe the texture of solids. Test the acidity or alkalinity of liquids. Test the solubility of solids in alcohol and water. All materials included except: water, stirring rod, graduated cylinder, balance, hand lens (optional), safety glasses, test tubes or depression plate for solubility test. Designed for 24 students in groups of 4. Grades 8-11.

Today's emphasis on the artificial and natural ingredients of the foods that we eat has placed new emphasis on the chemical composition of that food. Examine the chemical, nature of many familiar food products. Experiments in this module: Presence of sugars, starches, fats and proteins, fruit discoloration, chemical composition of milk, presence of iodine in salt, calcium propionate in bread and the qualitative test for vitamin C and sulfur dioxide.
