The Basic Micro-Chemistry kit is a good starter kit that allows students the ability to perform a wide range of chemical experiments that previously required macro scale apparatus. Designed so students can work individually or in groups. Topics that may be covered by this kit include:Chemical EquilibriumAcid Base ChemistryRates of ReactionStoichiometryReactions of Metals & their Salt SolutionsEnthalpy ChangesReactivity of Group 7 ElementsIndustrial PollutionDiffusionSolubility of Sulphates in WaterMicro-science is simply traditional Macro scale science on a micro scale. It uses equipment and techniques that mirror those used in industrial clinical and forensic laboratories.There are many investigation examples to be found on the Royal Society of Chemistry website www.rsc.org.Although featured here in our Chemistry section Micro-science is also applicable to Physics and Biology investigations.Benefits of Micro-Science:More efficient and effectiveMore orderly learning environment (less moving around the room no rush for limited apparatus mainly seated during practical activities)Encourages good scientific attitudes (attention to detail careful observation working systematically)Safety is enhanced as much smaller quantities of chemicals are used or produced greatly reduces risksPossibility of breakages / spillages greatly reduced encouraging confidence and hands-on' involvementSmaller quantities also reduce the chemicals that are disposed of at the end of lessons reducing pollutionWith Micro-science investigations can be completed quickly giving more time for thinking about results and drawing conclusions and students can also retain more reliable data by gaining time to repeat observationsKit Contents:1 x Comboplate6 x Micro pipettes1 x Spatula1 x Forceps1 x Container10 x Universal Indicator Test Paper1 x Lid Gas 11 x Lid Gas 21 x Microburner1 x Syringe 2.5ml1 x pH Guide each1 x Silicon Tube 4.5cm2 x Glass Combustion Tube + Lid1 x Gas Collecting Tube1 x Glass Rod 6cm3 x Wooden Spatulas
