Description |
|
1 |
Usable Water |
Students clean a dirty water sample by using various filtration methods. |
|
2 |
Water Testing |
Students test for the presence of ions in tap water. Use a reference
solution for positive test and control (distilled water) for negative test. |
|
3 |
Resources: Chemical Reactions w/Metals |
Students use 3 pennies to to perform different chemical processes. The
copper in the penny combines with zinc to make brass. |
|
4 |
Metal/Nonmetal |
Students test 7 unknown elements to determine if the sample is a metalloid,
non-metal or metal. Tests: malleability, conductivity & chemical reactivity. |
|
5 |
Producing Copper |
Students produce copper from copper sulfate solution by means of
electrolysis. |
|
6 |
Viscosity |
Students determine density and viscosity on 6 petroleum-based materials and
water. |
|
8 |
Combustion |
Students determine the heat of combustion of a candle (paraffin wax) by
heating up water. |
|
7 |
Hydrocarbons - Esters |
Students produce esters (artificial fragrances) from alcohol and acids. |
|
9 |
Petrochemicals (should be Polymers/ Synthetics) |
Students make nylon610 cord from mixing two chemicals. |
|
10 |
Vitamins |
Students determine vitamin C content of various beverages. Perform
titration. |
|
11 |
Iron in Foods |
Students determine iron content of food samples. Perform serial dilution. |
|
12 |
Radioactivity |
Students expose nature print paper by using radiation from various sources. |
|
13 |
Enzymes |
Students test how well enzymes (pepsin, amylase) work on albumin and starch
and responses under varied conditions (room temp., refrigerated & buffered pH of 4,
7 ,10) |
|
14 |
Electrochemistry |
Build and test different
electrochemical batteries to determine which will generate the most voltage. |
