Yes. The experiments come in three types: microscope labs, dissection labs, and household labs. Household labs use only common household equipment. The microscope labs; however, require a [microscope and several prepared and blank slides,][1] while the dissection labs require an additional [dissection set and specimens...
**The Hydrolysis of Sucrose** Author Name **Abstract:** “Carbohydrates are one of the principal sources of food energy” (Wile, Exploring Creation, 146). Even though carbohydrates are one of the most important chemicals in the human body, they are too large a molecule to be utilized in their “raw” form. Thus, the ...
A bulb thermometer is the typical glass thermometer that has a little bulb on the bottom, which is usually full of a red liquid. You read the temperature by looking at the line of red that rises from the bulb. If you go to any garden center, the outdoor thermometers that they have are usually bulb thermometers. ...
The wire attached to the negative terminal of the battery didn’t turn green because the reaction that takes place there cannot form copper hydroxycarbonate. In order to form that compound, you must have oxygen, and oxygen is formed only at the wire connected to the positive side of the battery. On the wire connected to...
You can find denatured alcohol at any hardware store that sells paint. It will be called “denatured alcohol,” “denatured ethanol,” or “denatured ethyl alcohol.” It does not need to be 100% alcohol; it can be 70% or more. Also, isopropyl alcohol, which is only 5% alcohol, is not the same and should not be used. You c...
Washing soda is a powdered laundry additive. It is NOT baking soda, but Arm and Hammer makes it. The chemical name is sodium carbonate. ...
The MircroChem experiments are noted in the text with an icon shown on the top of page vii of the textbook. Also on page 646 of the text, as part of the index, all of the page numbers are listed for the 14 MicroChem kit experiments referenced in the course. ...
The most important thing to determine is WHAT you measured the temperature OF. If you measured the temperature of the bag, then the temperature will be higher for the carbon dioxide bag. That’s because the carbon dioxide is trapping the heat, and thus, it heats up. Therefore, your thermometer was probably in thermal co...
**Dried** lima beans work the best. If you cannot get lima beans, try any other dry bean. We chose lima beans because the plants grow quickly. Beans sold for food may be subjected to treatments such as heating that kill the seeds. Unless you need a large volume of seeds, in which case dried beans are acceptable, it’s...
Experiment 9.2 says that the two people should move 250 meters apart. This is over 2 1⁄2 football fields (273 yards), and most people do not have access to a straight piece of property that allows line of sight for that distance. This experiment can certainly be done over a shorter distance. The experimenters should ai...
