"Ward's Science"

Understand the effect of light energy on a redox reaction.

Demonstrate chemical structures through the formation of silicate crystals.

Perform a single replacement reaction to form tin wool.

Understand strong versus weak acids, conjugate bases, and the effect of different acids on pH.

Understand acid base indicators and complex ions.

Understand and perform a patriotic redox reaction.

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

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.

Create fireworks by conducting a chemical reaction underwater.

Observe color changes through chemical redox reactions of complex ions.

Create your own metal eutectic alloy - a combination of two metals that has a lower melting point that the melting point of either metal.

Create your own fluorescent slime while understanding polymer chemistry.
