Innovating Science chemistry kit is used to study diffusion and cell size, and has an activity to create simulated cells (agar blocks) of different sizes to examine how effectively a substance diffuses into a cell over a set period of time. The cells have indicators that help students visualize the degree of diffusion. For hands-on learning, the kit has materials for 15 groups of students, including agar, bromothymol blue concentrate, hydrochloric acid, agar block casting trays, cups, knives, and stirrers. The kit has a teacher's manual and student study guide copymasters for instructional use, and a safety data sheet (SDS) packet for product information and handling procedures. The kit is suitable for age 13 and older with adult supervision, and meets the requirements for Department of Transportation (DOT) small quantity exemption 173.4, and conforms to 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 173.4 for domestic highway or rail transport only. Innovating Science products, manufactured by Aldon Corporation, include educational kits for the chemistry, life science, green chemistry, advanced placement chemistry, and forensic fields. Aldon Corporation was founded in 1964, and is headquartered in Avon, NY.What's in the Box?
