How Powerful Is Your Antacid?
Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
So many antacid choices on the market—which one should I use? Test and compare three popular over-the-counter antacids. Students will watch an “antacid in action” as the antacid neutralizes simulated stomach acid in the presence of universal indicator. They will also determine the neutralizing ability of three common antacids using acid–base titration techniques, compare the “neutralizing power” and cost-effectiveness of these antacids and learn the components, benefits and side effects of different types of antacids. Includes Instructor Notes, extensive background material and reproducible student handouts. All antacid samples, chemicals and specialized equipment are provided.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs.
Kitchen Chemistry Liquids—
Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Identify “unknown” liquids that are commonly found in the kitchen. Challenge students to discover the identity of a “mystery” liquid, which may contain one, two, three, or four common household liquids, in any combination. Students use the scientific method and learn about chemi- cal reactions, indicators, and miscibility as they determine the identity of the mystery liquid. This kitchen chemistry laboratory kit is an excel- lent way to introduce basic chemical concepts and to develop students’ problem-solving skills. Includes “mystery” liquids and all necessary chemicals and consumable supplies.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs.
Kitchen Chemistry Solids—
Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Identify “unknown” solids that are commonly found in the kitchen. This kitchen chemistry laboratory kit is an excellent way to introduce basic chemical concepts and to develop students’ problem-solving skills. Challenge students to discover the identity of four “mystery” solids, which may contain one, two, three, or all four of the solids, in any combination. Students use the scientific method and learn about chemi- cal reactions, indicators, melting point, and solubility as they determine the identity of these common kitchen solids. Includes “mystery” solids and all necessary chemicals and consumable supplies.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs.
Little Miss Muffet Learns to Make
Cheese—Student Laboratory Kit
By: John Fedors, Biology Teacher, Retired, San Diego, CA
Genetically engineered and mass produced, the enzyme chymosin is now the premier enzyme for cheese manufacturing. It is also a perfect enzyme for classroom studies. It is inexpensive, fast-acting, safe and very consistent in controlled studies. Your students will make curds and whey using milk and chymosin as they study the first intermediate step in the cheese-making process. After witnessing the basic reaction, students will become involved in designing their own controlled experi- ments to learn more about regulating the curding reaction of chymosin.
Complete with enough chymosin to curd 100 L of milk.
