Classifying Matter—Laboratory Kits
Elements, Compounds and
Mixtures—Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
A great, high-quality introductory kit—ideal for teaching the concepts of elements, compounds and mixtures. Four separate activities are provided. The first paper-and-pencil activity will familiarize students with common element symbols and names. In the second “classification of matter” activity, students use a flow chart to classify various materi- als as either an element, a compound or a mixture. Next is a laboratory activity in which students use physical separation techniques to separate a mixture consisting of sand, salt, zinc and iron filings. Then students chemically react aluminum with copper(II) chloride to produce and isolate a new element and compound. Detailed Instructor’s Notes and reproducible student handouts include easy-to-follow lab instructions, sample data, answers to questions and in-depth background informa- tion. All chemicals and specialized equipment are provided.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs. Super Value Kit is complete for 5 classes of 30 students working in pairs. One magnetic wand is included with the kit—additional wands are available separately.
Metal, Nonmetal or Metalloid?
Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
How are elements categorized? In this introductory kit, students will explore the unique physical and chemical properties of eight elements with the goal of classifying them as metals, nonmetals or metalloids. Students will investigate the color, luster, overall appearance, malleability, conduc- tivity and various chemical reactions of samples of the elements. Students will analyze data and categorize the elements into groups, making gener- alizations about properties of metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Includes Instructor’s Notes, reproducible student handouts, a range of samples, test reagents and specialized equipment.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs. Student conductivity meters are recommended and available separately.
