Measurement in the Laboratory—
Activity-Stations Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Help your students develop key measurement skills with this compre- hensive lab activity. Students learn to use good laboratory techniques as they conduct six separate lab activities in which length, mass, tempera- ture, and concentration are measured and then use these measurements to calculate volume and density. Each lab activity can be performed independently. A great skill-building kit! Includes reproducible student handouts, detailed background information, complete Instructor’s Notes with sample data and answers to all questions, and all necessary chemi- cals and consumables supplies.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs. 0.01-g balances are needed for mass measurements and available separately.
Observation and Experiment— Introduction to the Scientific Method—Guided-Inquiry Kit By: Lee Marek, Retired
Naperville North H.S., Naperville, IL
Students mix two solids and a liquid in a closed container and observe a dramatic series of changes—temperature changes, color changes, and changes in state. What interactions are responsible for each observa- tion? Are the changes independent of one another? In this open-ended, inquiry-based introduction to the scientific method, students first make observations and then design controlled experiments to identify the substances responsible for each change. Designed as a first experience for the chemistry lab, this activity is a fun and easy way to introduce students to the study of chemistry—students can actually hold an experiment in their hands to see and feel what chemistry is all about. Students learn that the scientific method is not a rigid path, it is a process—a process of discovery! Includes reproducible student handouts, detailed background information, complete Instructor’s Notes with sample data and answers to all questions, and all necessary chemicals and consumable supplies.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs.
Scientific Method—
Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
The scientific method is a logical process of inquiry and investigation. Students gather observations about the problem, develop a hypothesis, design and implement a controlled experiment, record constants and independent and dependent variables, graph data, and draw conclu- sions. Students use key elements of the scientific method to perform two laboratory investigations: a consumer product testing lab and a solubility lab. Students have the option of performing either a student- designed, open-ended procedure or a standard step-by-step procedure. Either option will provide students with the experience of using scien- tific thinking. Detailed Instructor’s Notes and reproducible student handouts include easy-to-follow lab instructions, pre-lab activities, sample data and in-depth background information. All chemicals and specialized equipment are provided.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs.
