Applied Chemistry Learning Activities

Description:   Observe color changes through chemical redox reactions of complex ions.

Description:   Two solutions are poured together in a beaker and form a gel. The gel can be ignited with a match. Commercially this gel is sold as Sterno®.

Description:   Demonstrate polymer chemistry.

Description:   Vernier Chemistry Investigations for Use with AP* Chemistry lab book provides a comprehensive set of resources for the AP Chemistry teacher, including sample data, sample analysis and calculations, and helpful guides to assist in preparing reagents and chemical solutions. In addition, a carefully chosen set of step-by-step instructions for operating probes and software is included to help students make the best use of available lab time, while retaining the spirit of an inquiry environment.

Description:   Explain the principle of high surface tension as water acts like a membrane stretched across the surface preventing sulfur particles from sinking.

Description:   Introduce different chemical reaction types through a colorful demonstration.

Description:   A series of ferrous ammonium sulfate samples with a range of known purities.

Description:   Create your own fluorescent worms while understanding polymer chemistry and cross-linking.

Description:   Perform an oscillating redox reaction with hydrogen peroxide, potassium iodide, and potassium permanganate.

Description:   Perform an autocatalytic reaction, observe how the product of a reaction can catalyze further reactions.

Description:   Leybold Chemistry Experiments.

Description:   Distillation kit includes 15 pieces of glassware made from high quality, heavy duty, 3.3 borosilicate glass.

Description:   Understand and perform a patriotic redox reaction.

Description:   Perform a single replacement reaction to form tin wool.

Description:   A small amount of potassium permanganate is placed in a petri dish. A few drops of glycerin are added and after a few seconds, a puff of smoke and violet flames are produced.
