Chemistry Experiments for High School at Home

** Note: This book is produced by print-on-demand service and may take 2-4 weeks to ship.Where No Laboratory Facilities Are Available In home settings or schools without standard lab fixtures (gas jets, vent hoods, etc), conducting effective chemistry experiments is a challenge. Many publishers make experiments so “easy” that the chemistry principles in focus are not well illustrated. Oftentimes the learning goal is absent or unclear. The student may end up performing steps that she doesn’t understand to witness a chemical reaction that she also doesn’t understand. Home educators may see no other option but to resort to “easy” experiments using household items. The result can quickly become little more than a magic show. Students mix ingredients and watch the effects never achieving the learning objectives. The chemicals, procedures, and equipment often bear little or no resemblance to what a real chemist would use, and they do not prepare students for the rigors of their college sci
