Flinn Scientific Laboratory Techniques Guide

What is the proper procedure for lighting a Bunsen burner? Is this a crucible or an
evaporating dish? How do I filter this mixture?
This handy reference guide has beautiful color illustrations of lab glassware and
equipment to help you teach more effectively and safely. Guide contains 16 “How To”
boxes describing the most common lab techniques—lighting a lab burner, heating a
crucible, filtering and decanting, using a buret and pipet, collecting a gas by water
displacement and distilling liquids to name a few. A convenient Periodic Table is
also provided on the back side with element names, symbols, atomic weights and
color-coded families.
Designed for individual student use, the 11" x 17" guide is printed on durable, glossy
paper and folds in half to easily fit into a binder or notebook. Reinforced, pre-punched

Chemistry of Toys—Heat
The Heat Solution Instant Handwarmer
A vinyl pouch contains a supersaturated solution of sodium
acetate. When pressure is applied to a metal activator, a seed
crystal forms in the solution and triggers the entire solution
to crystallize. As the solution changes physical state (liquid to
solid), it increases in temperature to 130 °F. The heat will last for
over 30 minutes. The vinyl pouch can be easily regenerated and
used over and over again.

Putt Putt Boat—
Demonstration Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
These boats run exclusively on steam—wonderfully
illustrating the conversion of chemical energy into
mechanical energy. A small candle is used to heat
water in a reservoir.
The water boils and high-pressure
steam shoots out the tailpipe producing a “putt,” forcing
the boat into motion. The continuous
“putt-putt”
sound of the boat mimics a real steamboat! Boats are made from recycled tin cans.
Instructions and activities are included with each boat.
