Chemistry Kits

Construct a simple wet cell battery. When complete it will generate 1.

Chemical reactions take place all around us. Being able to identify reactions and communicate what is happening is vital to the scientific community.

Explore the Periodic Table of Elements with the Chemical Element Observation Set. Students will study the similarities and differences between these elements.

Most physical and chemical reactions that involve the release of light energy also involve the release of heat energy. One unique and interesting form of light-emitting reaction is called chemiluminescence, or “cool light.

Explain and view chemiluminescence. Observe how luminol is converted to an excited state in the presence of an oxidizer such as hydrogen peroxide.

Crime scene investigators are called to the scene of a possible violent crime. They examine the scene for evidence, such as fingerprints, hair, fibers, etc.

This series of activities, developed by the American Chemical Society through grants from the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health, is comprised of four lessons that investigate chemical changes. Using the instruction manual

This kit and the accompanying teacher’s guide have been developed by the American Chemical Society through grants from the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health. Through the lessons in this lab students will learn how human

Amino acids are the fundamental building blocks of all proteins. Often times scientists may need to identify the amino acid contained in a protein.

Chlorophyll is the most prevalent and well-known plant pigment related to photosynthesis. It is not, however, the only plant pigment necessary for photosynthesis to occur.

The three major classes of matter are elements, compounds and mixtures. The differences between these three classifications is the focus of this lab activity.
