- EXPLORE CHROMATOGRAPHY || Introduces learners to the system of chromatography - the oldest documented technique to separate chemical substances
- ENGAGING DEMONSTRATION || The activity allows learners to perform paper chromatography on three individual dyes, along with a mixture of dyes to determine the composition of the mixture
- CORE CONCEPTS || Students will develop an understanding of the components of a chromatography system as well as why different substances separate and move at different rates within the system
- EXCELLENT FOR REMOTE LEARNING || Includes an instruction manual with worksheets and enough materials for two students or two groups
- INCLUDES ALL REQUIRED MATERIALS || Includes 0.5ml bottles of crystal violet, safranin O, toluidine blue and chromatography mixture, 30ml bottle of ethanol, 2 chromatography sheets, 4 capillary tubes and 2 plastic cups
This chemistry kit introduces students to the process of paper chromatography and the separation of chemical substances. Included in the kit is an activity for performing chromatography. Three different dyes are examined separately, and a combination mixture is studied to determine which dyes it is composed of. Includes an instruction manual with worksheets, safety data sheets and enough materials for two students or two groups. Perfect for remote learning or as a home school laboratory activity.
Kit Includes:
- 30mL 50% Ethanol
- 2 Chromatography Sheets (3"x4" each)
- 4 Capillary Tubes
- 2 Plastic Cups, 10oz
- 1 Chromatography Dye Set containing:
- 0.5mL Crystal Violet
- 0.5mL Safranin O
- 0.5mL Toluidine Blue
- 0.5mL Chromatography Mixture
The Science at Home series by Innovating Science is designed to offer engaging activities and educational content to young learners at home. Kits incorporate applied math and science principles into homeschool-based projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology. Innovating Science products, manufactured by Aldon Corporation, include educational kits for the chemistry, life science, green chemistry, advanced placement chemistry, and forensic fields.
