An exciting set of selected experiments designed to make elements elementary and explore the periodicity of the periodic table. Learn about atoms and the stuff they are made of: protons, neutrons and electrons. The beautifully illustrated book and materials kit takes students through the alphabet of the universe.
This ScienceWiz™ Teacher's Pack includes enough equipment for 6 students to explore and develop a fundamental understanding of the key concepts of the Periodic Table while building a foundation for analytical thinking. Comes in a specially designed box for easy storage with compartments for convenient access to materials.
 

For ages 8 and up.

Each Pack includes:
6 full colour 48 page booklets
12 test tubes with graphite tubes
6 sets of red and black alligator lead pairs
60 pH sticks (0-14 pH range)
6 colour coded pH charts
6 sets of alkali metals for flame testing
6 sets of electrons, protons and neutrons for modeling periodic table of elements
12 periodic table of elements for hilighting metals, non-metals and semimetals
6 magnifiers
6 tea candles
60 experiment cups
900g plaster of Paris, gauze, chalk
1 laminated teacher’s guide

Student Experiments:
•Split water into rocket fuel with a battery and pencil graphite then pop the captured hydrogen to explore the properties of the first element.
•Act out the roles of electrons and protons in hydrogen and helium.
•Use pH sticks to measure acids and bases and relate pH to dissociated hydrogen.
•Discover how many of the elements are familiar metals.
•Hilight the very few elements that are actually non-metals.
•Investigate the properties of noble gases starting with the most familiar - helium.
•Explore the properties of alkali metals by flame testing the common salts, watching videos of their extraordinary reactivity with water and forming crystals.
•Relate salts to crystal formation, ionic bonds and their pairing with halogens.
•Investigate calcium, an alkaline earth metal that is found in chalk, bones
and egg shells and make a calcium sulfate caste to explore exothermal reactions.
•Use an acid test to distinguish calcium sulfate from calcium carbonate.
•Understand crystal making in terms of the Periodic Table.
•Discover the “personality traits” of the elements in the Periodic Table.

Features:
Teacher's Packs are designed so that students have their own booklet and materials.
This pack has a number of consumables. Replacement consumables and spare parts can be purchased from Scientrific.
Extensions to the main projects are feasible as there are sufficient supplies for all.
