Applied Chemistry Learning Activities
Illustrate a variety of key chemistry concepts using the materials provided by these demonstrative lab activity kits. Explore common chemistry concepts such as the interaction of chemicals in controlled reactions, the formation of precipitates, and more spectacular reactions. These latter reactions can help students become familiar with chemical principles such as redox, synthesis, decomposition, ionic reactions in aqueous solutions, and exothermic reactions. Starter sets and comprehensive kits include all the reaction plates, pipettes, and more that may be required for performing reactions.
