The End Creek Water Monitoring Project by Anna Cavinato, Eastern Oregon University This is an adaptation of a previously published lab module on the ASDL website; Cavinato, A. G.; Antell, K. End Creek: […]
Students use household materials and a conductivity probe to explore factors that affect the conductivity of electrolytic solutions. Students gain experience in molarity and dilution calculations, solution preparation, nomenclature, statistical analysis, and […]
From BeyondBenign.org and J. Chem. Ed., 82 (1), 2005, 116-119. Compiled Natalie Ulrich, (PhD) If you’ve ever made ice cream at home, you know the recipe calls for adding salt to ice to cool down […]
Chemistry LibreTexts features this excellent guided activity for introducing general chemistry students to data analysis using Microsoft Excel as contributed by Santa Monica College. In addition to learning how to determine averages, […]
Students synthesize the copper pigment malachite, then use the pigment to prepare egg tempera paint. Students explore “stoichiometry (excess reactants and yields), solubility, precipitation, and properties of emulsions” in this Journal of […]
Hands-on learning in a remote laboratory environment. This Journal of Chemical Education Article by Deon T. Miles and William G. Wells of the Department of Chemistry, Sewanee: The University of the South […]
Overview Adapted from Scientific American and Connections Education In this colorful experiment, students extract red cabbage indicator (an anthocyanin) with isopropyl alcohol or water. Students then create a series of solutions of […]
Use the (really fun!) reaction between the sodium bicarbonate in Alka-Seltzer tablets and vinegar to explore stoichiometry, percent composition, and limiting reactants. This experiment is easily and safely reproduced at home using […]
The simulation of important concepts in HPLC is accomplished through the use of provided Excel macros. The exercise is written with explicit instructions that can be used as an at-home laboratory exercise […]
Low cost instrumentation for at Home or In Lab Experiments for Chemistry and Biology Laboratories These are instructions and 3D print files to construct a visible photometer using low-cost electronics for a […]
This analysis is designed to replicate the classic acid-base determination of an unknown titration, but using household chemicals as the standard, titrant, indicator, and unknown. Notably this analysis employs a digital scale and syringes in the place of pipettes and burettes, making this a unique gravimetric approach to acid base titrations.
