"Avantor"

Use this convenient set of labs as the base for a complete environmental science course. You can perform demonstrations that cover most of the topics recommended in the AP Environmental Science course with the materials included here.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow Chemistry Lessons Fly.

Students use several techniques to investigate the location, methods, and mechanisms of transpiration in plants. Students first determine the source of water loss and confirm their findings with a qualitative chemical test. Then they prepare microscope slides of xylem in stem tissue, and prepare a leaf imprint using an innovative method that vividly highlights stomate structures. Finally, using WARD’S specially-designed potometer and supplied materials, students subject bean seedlings to varying environmental conditions to determine how transpiration is affected. You’ll get enough materials for eight setups, a teacher’s guide, and student copymaster.

Forty mineral thin sections for Petrography Studies

When minerals, rocks, and fossils cannot be accurately identified by macroscopic observation and testing, thin section slides can reveal the composition and structure of the specimens on a microscopic level.
