Color Change Challenge—
Problem-Solving
Guided-Inquiry Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Students must discover a sequence of chemical changes—using four unknown
colorless solutions—that will result in a series of specific color changes. As students
design and then carry out their “action plan,” they learn that scientific problem solving
is not a random process and that trial and error is really a series of logical steps
leading toward a solution. Includes all necessary chemicals, disposable pipets,
labels and pipet holders. Includes Teacher Notes and reproducible student handouts.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs. Reusable spot plates are recommended
and available separately.

The Natural Science
of Fabric Dyeing—
Guided-Inquiry Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
In this guided-inquiry activity, students select a variable in the dye process and
design an experiment using a multifiber fabric to test the effect of their chosen variable.
Variables include three different plant pigments, three possible additives and
the temperature and duration of the dye bath. Includes complete instructions with
reproducible student handouts, detailed background information, valuable Teacher
Notes and enough fabric and chemicals for 10 groups of students to perform experiments.
Additional multi-fiber test fabrics are available separately.
Complete for 30 students working in groups of three.

Match the Mystery Solutions—
Guided-Inquiry Kit
By: Bob Becker, Kirkwood High School, Kirkwood, MO
Challenge students to solve the puzzle of the unknown solutions. Students brainstorm
how to match three colorless mystery solutions with the same solutions a
partner has. One catch—once a course of action has been determined, no visual
comparisons are allowed! Good inquiry and communication skills are emphasized
as students test the solutions and exchange information about the results. A great
lab for the first day of class, with 100% participation guaranteed!
Complete for 30 students working in pairs.

Solubility Races—Super
Value Guided-Inquiry Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
The best way to teach the scientific method is to actually use the scientific method!
In this guided-inquiry lab, students determine how different factors will affect the
rate at which a solid dissolves in a liquid by following the steps of the scientific
method. Students devise experiments to measure the effects of each variable,
conduct the necessary tests and analyze and graph the results. Supplementary
information is provided in the teacher notes so the lab may be performed as either
a student-designed experiment or as a more conventional experiment with stepby
step instructions. Includes reproducible student handouts, detailed background
information, complete Teacher Notes with sample data questions and all necessary
chemicals and consumable supplies.
Super Value Kit is complete for 5 classes of 30 students working in pairs.

Ob-Scertainer Kit—A Better Black Box—
Super Value Kit
Introduce students to the scientific method of problem solving and get them to start
thinking “scientifically.” By manipulating a black box and hearing and feeling how the
steel ball rolls around inside the unopened box, students begin to make observations
about what type of configuration is inside it. They collect data, develop a hypothesis
and test their hypothesis. This fun and engaging lab activity gets students’ minds working.
The teacher’s guide and lab activity sheets help students understand the process
of the scientific method. Kit includes 24 black boxes—two each of the 12 different types.
Super Value Kit is complete for 24 students working individually. All materials are
reusable.
