"Ward's Phenomena"

A series of sodium carbonate (soda ash) samples with a range of known purities.

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

Create fireworks by conducting a chemical reaction underwater.

Observe color changes through chemical redox reactions of complex ions.

Explain how there are exceptions to the rules of chemistry through a negative coefficient of solubility.

Introduce different chemical reaction types through a colorful demonstration.

Perform a single replacement reaction to form tin wool.

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®.

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

Understand and perform a patriotic redox reaction.

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

Perform a synthesis reaction to produce rubber - a simple condensation polymer.

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

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

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.

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