Innovating Science

Introduce students to stoichiometry and mole ratios with the reaction of copper and silver nitrate! Students will watch as beautiful silver crystals are formed on the copper wire, then determine the moles of silver formed and moles of copper reacted to calculate the mole ratio. Using this data, they...

Changes to the carbon cycle and climate due to human activities have had detrimental effects on the environment. One example of this is known as ocean acidification, which is the changing of the ocean's chemistry due to increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and ocean. In this activity, simulate...

A major challenge for any scientist is identifying what and how much of something is in a solution. One of the most common measurement techniques used is titration. The activities in this kit will focus on how acid-base titrations work and how to identify the concentration of an unknown acid. Kit...

Urinalysis, one of the oldest medical diagnostic tests performed, is to this day still one of the most common. In this activity, students will use simulated urine to avoid the unpleasantness of using the real thing while still performing actual tests used on real urine samples. Students will examine...
