Vitamin C Titration
Students use a redox titration to determine the amount of vitamin C in an unknown food sample.
Electrochemical Cells
Students use a voltage sensor to discover the function of the components of an electrochemical cell.
Electroplating
Students build an electrolytic cell to investigate the electroplating process.
Lemon Battery
Students use a voltage sensor to measure voltage produced by a lemon battery with copper and zinc electrodes, then use their data to design a lemon battery...
Project: Design a Galvanic Cell
Students use a voltage sensor and a variety of supplies to design a galvanic cell that can light LED bulbs in series or in parallel.
Research Enhancement: Galvanic Cells
Students research, discuss, and write about the pros and cons of moving towards homes and cars fully powered by rechargeable batteries.
Half-Lives
Students model radioactive decay to determine the half-life of a “radioactive” sample.
Bonding and Organic Chemistry
Students use the Molecular Model Set to explore the variety of bonding configurations possible by a carbon atom.
Distilling Aromatic Compounds
Students use a condenser to extract an aromatic distillate from a spice sample.
Fragrant Esters
Students use a temperature sensor and a Molecular Model Set to study the properties of reactants and products of three distinct esterification reactions.
