IS1512 Distance Learning: Mohs Hardness Test The Mohs hardness scale was invented by Friedrich Mohs in 1812, and has been a useful tool for geologists to determine the identity of different minerals. With this kit, students will become familiar with the Mohs hardness scale and how to perform the hardness test, allowing them to develop vital skills that will help them throughout their studies in earth science. This kit also provides students an opportunity to go out into their... local environment to investigate the relative hardness of the minerals around them. https://www.aldon-chem.com//is1512-distant-learning-mohs-/

IS1511 Distance Learning: Chromatography of Plant Pigments Chlorophyll is the most prevalent and well-known plant pigment related to photosynthesis. It is not, however, the only pigment necessary for photosynthesis to occur. Other pigments are also involved in the process, though they are often overlooked as they tend to be masked by the abundance of the green pigment chlorophyll. In this activity, students will use paper chromatography to separate the various pigments from a sample of plant pigment extract. Students will not only confirm the presence and learn the role of these hidden pigments, but will also learn about chromatography as a technique for separating molecules. https://www.aldon-chem.com//is1511-distant-learning-chrom/

IS1510 Distance Learning: Cellular Respiration-What Sugar Does Yeast Like Best? In this experiment, students will expose living yeast cells to three different sugars-glucose, sucrose, and lactose. The yeast cells should begin to utilize the sugars as a food source if they are capable of metabolizing them, and will begin to engage in aerobic respiration and/or fermentation. This activity allows students to understand that yeast may use different options for energy production, with varying degrees of effectiveness. A pH indicator will be used to indirectly determine the effectiveness of the three different sugars as a food source for the yeast. https://www.aldon-chem.com//is1510-distance-learning-cell/

IS1509 Distance Learning: Forensic Chemistry- Drug Detection Everyone who ate the school cafeteria’s chili became ill. Could someone have tainted the chili? You are a forensic toxicologist, and it is up to you to determine if any of the ingredients in the cafeteria could have been substituted for aspirin, which appears to have been stolen from the nurse’s office. You will perform a series of chemical tests on the cafeteria ingredients and a control sample of aspirin, to deter...mine if all the ingredients are what they are supposed to be. https://www.aldon-chem.com//is1509-distant-learning-foren/

IS1508 Distance Learning: Forensic Chemistry of Blood Typing Blood typing is a method of classifying blood based on the presence or absence of specific proteins, called antigens, on the surface of red blood cells. Blood type, an inherited characteristic, is valuable to know as it affects medical procedures, such as surgery and transfusions, and paternity testing, as well as serving as evidence in criminal investigations. Determining the blood type of a suspect in a crime can ...help provide supporting evidence that they are guilty, or eliminate them as a possibility. In this activity, students will determine the blood type of simulated blood samples collected from a crime scene, as well as from two suspects, to determine the likelihood of the suspects’ involvement in the crime. https://www.aldon-chem.com//is1508-distant-learning-foren/

IS1507 Distance Learning: Forensic Chemistry of Unknown Substances When collecting evidence at a crime scene, investigators may encounter substances that they are not able to identify in the field. These substances will be sent to a crime lab, where a forensic scientist will work to analyze and identify them. In this experiment, students will take on the role of a forensic scientist and use their observation skills, senses, and a series of chemical tests to determine the iden...tity of two mystery substances. Kit contains an Instruction Manual and enough materials for 2 groups of students. https://www.aldon-chem.com//is1507-distant-learning-foren/

IS1506- Distant Learning: Kidneys and Blood Filtration Learn the role of the kidney in blood filtration and waste removal along with the many tasks performed by the functional units of the kidney, called nephrons, as well as nephron structure. Students will create an artificial kidney model to filter a simulated blood solution, and will be able to visually determine if filtration of the simulated blood occurred.
