Educational Inovations
supplies for science teachers:
Take-home labs (Brian Rohrig), may give you some
ideas:
1. Liquid density column
2. Penny cleaning activity
3. Design your own consumer product and then package
it and market it
4. Make cyrstals at home - sugar, salt, Epsom salts,
alum, or laundry bluing.
5. Red cabbage juice testing
6. give them litmus paper and have them test various
substances at home
7. make a 3d model of the periodic table representing
differences in atomic radii.
8. have students repeat various safe demos and
labs at home and take a picture of it with the student in it and write
on the back an explanation of what is happening - last year I literaly
got hunderds of pictures
9. have students do research to determine why gold rings
leave a black mark on the skin of some females but not others - they need
to test all their friends and then try to come up with a hypothesis supported
by research
10. have students bring in an egg that has soaked
in vinegar for a week and then have a naked egg drop
11. last year, I gave each student a dozen or so
unknown white powders and they had to go home and identify them, based
on various chemical tests - solubility, starch, etc.
12. one thing I would like to do but haven't done
yet is to give students various stains on pieces of cloth and see if they
can remove them without damaging the fabric and then research the chemistry
involved.
