A Demo a Day — Chemical
Demonstration Book
264 pages, 8½" x 11". Softcover. What better way to
start your day than by doing a chemical demonstration?
A good chemical demonstration not only wakes
up your students, but will keep them awake and alert
for the entire class period. This spiral-bound book contains
174 chemical demonstrations designed by high
school chemistry teachers to be done on a daily basis.
Each demonstration write-up includes chemistry concepts,
chemistry theory, preparation instructions, materials
needed, safety tips and precautions, procedure,
chemical disposal information, and references where
applicable. Concepts covered include properties of
matter, energy, atomic theory, chemical reactions, stoichiometry,
phases of matter, gas laws, atomic structure
and bonding, periodicity, solutions and colloids, acids/
bases, kinetics, equilibrium, redox, electrochemistry, and
polymer chemistry. Copyright 1995. Sh. wt. 0.99 kgs.

The Elements:
A Quiz Deck on the Periodic Table
Much more than a simple chart, the periodic table of
elements identifies and categorizes chemical elements.
But what exactly is an element? What do the numbers
on the table signify? And how are the elements
arranged? When you dig into these knowledge cards,
you’ll have many more questions — along with the
answers. The front of each card delivers a quiz question
such as, “What are the three primary types of atomic
bonds?” On the back is a concise, easily-digestible
response. Includes 48 cards. 3-1⁄4" x 4". Sh. wt. 0.38 lbs.

Chemical Properties
This allows students to become
involved in testing chemical
properties of seven different
substances. The students combine
seven different solutions
in every possible combination
and identify chemical
properties by observing their
reaction with other solutions.
Chemical reactions
that will be observed are gas
production, colour changes, and
formation of precipitates. After becoming
familiar with the chemical properties
of the solutions, students use their information
to identify four unknown solutions. The kit contains terms sheets, an activity sheet,
laboratory exercises, a crossword puzzle, and a test. The activity sheets introduce the
chemical solutions for polyatomic ions (radicals). The laboratory exercises focus on using
chemical properties as a means of identifying unknown solutions. Grades 7—12. Sh. wt.

Cornerstones of Chemistry:
The Mole Poster
Graphic depiction of the mole and its
importance! Unique poster lays a graphic
foundation for one of the cornerstones of
chemistry — the mole! Provides a clear and
interesting presentation of Avogadro’s law,
the uniqueness of the mole, molarity, molality,
molecular formulas, and everyday uses
of the mole in science and industry. Includes
an illustrated teacher’s guide. Laminated.
Size: 23" W x 35" H. Sh. wt. 0.29 kgs.

Elements & the
Periodic Table
This kit contains two
activities. In Activity 1, students
compare pre-selected
data on physical and chemical
properties of 14 elements and
sort the elements into groups
based on common properties.
Then they compare their
classifications with groups of
elements as defined by scientists.
In Activity 2, students
are introduced to the periodic
table of elements and read
about its history and organization.
The reading introduces the difference between elements and compounds as well
as atoms, molecules, and chemical formulas. Grades 6—12. Sh. wt. 2 lbs.

Mole Set of Four Metals
Allows students to better understand atoms and atomic
weights by giving them mole-sized examples to work
with it. Being able to see and hold in their hands a mole
each of four common metals (aluminum, zinc, copper,
and iron) — rather than being forced to try to mentally
picture what 602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms
look like — makes visualization a breeze. Can also be used as density specimens, as
examples of common elements, as aids in calculating atomic radius, or for determining
specific heat and heat capacity. Comes with suggested classroom experiments, workbook,
expected results, and instruction manual. Grades 7—12. Sh. wt. 0.69 lbs.
