Mineral oil light (paraffin oil), lab grade
Used as starch indicator, biological stain and chemical reagent. This iodine is laboratory grade and cannot be used for food or medical purposes. 500ml.
Aluminum Metal (20 gauge sheet) - 12" x 12" x .032"
500 grams of Aluminum Metal Shot.
Aluminum metal shot is often used in classrooms for chemistry experiments and demonstrations, such as studying chemical reactions, investigating metal properties, and exploring concepts like density and reactivity. It is commonly used in reaction experiments with acids (like hydrochloric acid) to produce hydrogen gas, allowing students to observe the properties of metal reactivity and gas evolution. Additionally, aluminum shot can be used in physics experiments to study thermal conductivity and heat transfer due to its high thermal conductivity and low density.

This three dimensional model of the sun and planets teaches planet identification, sizes, distance and color. The planets may be set by month to show relative positions. A sturdy base supports the 6" diameter sun with the outer planet 18" from the sun. Illustrated Study Guide includes position table. Lesson Plan facilitates explanation of orbit and speed. 12" x 22" x 8".
Gives star positions for any date. Shows constellations, stars to 5th magnitude, nebula, Milky Way and the ecliptic. Major stars luminous for outdoor use. Has instructions, planet positions and Zodiac dial on reverse.
Also called glycerin or glycerine, Glycerol is both a colorless and odorless liquid, that is fairly viscous. It is a simple polyol compound, with a triglyceride backbone and 3 hydroxyl groups.
Sodium silicate (water glass) is a clear, colorless liquid. Used in soaps, detergents, adhesives and in waterproofing. Sometimes used to seal small cracks or leaks in the cooling system.
Cobalt chloride crystals are commonly used in classrooms for chemistry experiments and demonstrations, primarily to study chemical properties and investigate reactions involving moisture and hydration. The most notable uses include:
-
Indicator for Humidity and Hydration: Cobalt chloride is a popular indicator for moisture because it changes color based on its hydration state. In its anhydrous form, cobalt chloride is blue, and it turns pink when it absorbs water. This property makes it ideal for demonstrating reversible chemical changes and teaching about hydration and dehydration reactions.
-
Le Chatelier’s Principle Demonstrations: Cobalt chloride can be used to illustrate Le Chatelier's Principle. By adding water or applying heat to the crystal, students can observe the reversible color change, demonstrating shifts in equilibrium due to changes in temperature or the presence of a reactant.
-
Testing for Water Presence: Cobalt chloride paper, which is made using the crystals, is used in chemistry and environmental science labs to detect water vapor in various gases or liquids.
Due to its potential toxicity and the fact that it can cause skin irritation, cobalt chloride should be handled with proper safety measures, including wearing gloves and protective eyewear.
