Stoichiometry and Limiting Reactant
This activity helps students understand the concept of limiting
reactants in a chemical reaction. Using calcium chloride with sodium
oxalate and sodium phosphate, students determine the combining ratios of
the chemicals and then write a balanced equation for each reaction.

Aquarium Equilibrium Demonstration
Use 2 aquariums and water for this guided-inquiry demonstration that
introduces students to the concepts of reversible reactions and
equilibrium. As students transfer water between aquariums, they make and
adjust their predictions, then compare observed results with initial
predictions about the demo’s outcome. Jump on the link below to start

The Lost Volume
This engaging demo helps teach fundamentals of inquiry science, properties of
liquids, and intermolecular forces. Learn how using equal volumes of ethyl
alcohol and water can show students that the proverbial 2 plus 2 doesn’t always
equal 4. The surprising outcome gets them thinking. Click the link to view it.

Procuring Lab Coats for Students
If you need lab coats for your students, contact your local hospital or
university laundry facility. The institution will often donate lab coats
previously worn by doctors who no longer work at the facility. My students
create badges for their lab coats, and feel very smart and empowered wearing the
personalized coats during lab experiments.
