Introductory Chemistry

Experiment Number Experiment Title Action
1
Mass, Volume and Density Students determine the density of regular and irregular objects through precise mass and volume measurements, applying fundamental principles of matter and measurement.
2
Developing Protocol Students create slime using different protocols to create slime, then apply their observations to develop a personalize formulation, reinforcing documentation skills in experimental procedures.
3
Reproducing Protocol Students recreate their personalized slime based on their documented protocol, then provide their insructions to another group for replication, and assess documentation accuracy.
4
Solubility of Ionic Compounds Students analyse the solubility of inorganic salts with common anions and cations, identifying periodic trends and group behaviours through systematic observations.
5
Paper Chromatography Students explore paper chromatography by analyzing food coloring and candy dyes in various solvnets, observing color separation and solvent effects on dyes.
6
Conservation of Mass Students explore conservation of mass by reacting sodium carbonate with calcium chloride in a double displacement reaction, isolating both the precipitate and soluble products to calculate percent yield.
7
Invisible Ink with Turmeric Students create hidden messages using sodium carbonate solution, then reveal them through an acid-base reaction using turmeric dissolves in hand sanitizer, showcasing pH dependent color changes.
8
Soap Students synthesize soap by heating a chosen oil with strong base and alcohol in a sand bath, then isolate the product and evaluate its properties.
9
Spherification Students explore spherification by reacting sodium alginate with calcium chloride solution, forming edible gel spheres while observing molecular interactions.
10
Gas Laws : Popcorn Students apply gas laws to determine the water content in popcorn kernels, using temperature and pressure relationships to quantify moisture release during heating.
11
Thermochemistry Black Snake Students create a carbon snake by mixing sugar with baking soda, igniting the mixture altop a sand bath with ethanol to observe thermal decomposition and gas expansion.
