Innovating Science American Chemistry Society: Chemistry’s Colorful Clue (Materials for 8 Groups of Students)

This chemistry kit was developed by the American Chemical Society through grants from the National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Health. The lessons are designed to teach students about how acids and bases affect water pH, and how humans contribute to these changes in natural water sources. Through a combination of lessons and experiments, students will explore these concepts from both a theory and hands-on perspective. Each kit includes enough material for eight groups of students, and access to instructions, student study guide copymasters, and safety data sheets. What’s in the box? 1 bottle citric acid, 30g 1 bottle baking soda, 30g 9 bottles bromothymol blue, 25mL 9 metric measuring cups 16 portion cups, 2 oz 25 plastic cups, 10 oz 18 plastic cups, 3 oz 16 plastic wide cups, 9 oz 9 small plastic spoons 8 pipettes 1 package of toothpicks 32 cotton swabs 1 plastic spoon 1 straw 5 pieces of paper
