The Chemistry of Invisible Inks NextGen STEM Kit

Grades 7-12.

Innovative, high-quality, STEAM-based curriculum kit delves into chemistry while investigating how organic fluids and chemical reagents can be used as invisible inks. Relying on historical example, students create various inks and security documents for other student groups to analyze and decode. Classroom kit covers the following concepts: data analysis, chemical and physical processes, elements, mixtures, compounds, pH indicators, transmitted vs. reflected light, periodic table, fluorescent compounds, types of chemical reactions, and hypothesis testing.
