Chemical Equations I

Introduce students to chemical equations involving singular replacement and double replacement reactions. Student have the opportunity to perform two different single replacement reactions and two different double reactions. Observed are color change, f... More.

Autocatalysis

Catalysis is a basic principle of chemistry and biochemistry. Some reactions are autocatylic; the product of the reaction actually catalyzes further reactions. The reaction proceeds only in an acidic environment. Contains 5 ml bromophenol blue, 0.10% so... More.

Exothermic/Endothermic Combination

Study both processes of endothermic and exothermic reactions. Reactions are safely carried out in plastic bags. The students can pass the bags around to feel the reactions. Grades 6-12. More.

Polyurethane Foam

Make your own foam. When two viscous liquids are mixed together, they initiate a reaction producing light weight polyurethane foam, which expands 30 times the original volume of the two liquids. Includes 535 g of Polyurethane Foam System, Part A (Mixtur... More.
