Ampholytes are compounds which react with both acids and bases. When zinc chloride is reacted with sodium hydroxide the soluble zincate ion is formed.

After a compound has been synthesized, analytical tests should be carried out to confirm that the correct compound has been produced. In this lab we will perform tests to confirm that the crystals formed are in fact potassium aluminum sulfate 12

Students will test the solubility of each possible component of a commercially available pain reliever in an organic solvent, ethyl acetate, and in a basic aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate. These results will help the student create a

Anesthetize Drosophila melanogaster fruit fly)and other small insects for at least 40-50 minutes without killing or sterilizing. Includes instructions.

Students will study the process of artificial selection using Innovating Science fast growing plants. Students will identify phenotypic differences to observe.

Students will use a respiration chamber to measure and record the rate of oxygen consumption (cellular respiration) using germinating seeds versus a non-germinating control sample. Teachers manual and Student Study Guide copymasters are included.

Refill Kit Includes: 15mL Potassium Hydroxide 15% 1 pkg Peas Seeds 1 pkg Non-absorbent Cotton 1 pkg Absorbent Cotton DOT Info: Small quantity exemption 173.4 THIS PACKAGE CONFORMS TO 49 CFR 173.4 for domestic highway or rail transport only

Students will learn the necessary components and conditions for photosynthesis to occur while using leaf disks to measure the accumulation of oxygen and relate it to the rate of photosynthesis. Students will then use guided inquiry to design and

Students will study the cellular steps involved in DNA replication and cell division in both mitosis and meiosis. This investigation will allow students to examine the stages of mitosis in the preparation of plant root tips.

Students will study the process of transpiration/transpiration pull and the role it plays in water/nutrient movement in plants. They will study the role of stomata in relation to the transpiration process using a potometer to examine the rate of

Students will study whether fruit flies will move toward or away from important chemicals and food that aid in their survival. Using the Innovating Science choice behavior chamber, behaviors of the fruit-flies are observed and any pattern can be

Students will learn the nature and specificity of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Students will then use an extract of turnips to examine the reaction between hydrogen peroxide and the enzyme peroxidase while testing one or more factors that influence
