Using the Lead Testing Chemistry Laboratory Kit, students test materials from their environment for lead content. Lead is hazardous, but can be found in common items. Students enjoy “hunting” for lead sources and protecting the environment.
Students love playing the role of an environmental “watchdog.” In this activity, students test materials from their environment for lead content. Lead can be found in many common items and is very hazardous. We guarantee students will enjoy “hunting” for lead sources and protecting their environment. The test procedure in this kit is only appropriate for solid items and is not reliable for testing lead in solutions.
Super Value Kit is complete with enough materials to conduct 100 lead tests on solid items.
