FAMILIES OF ELEMENTS I KIT

adminbenscience — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 17:16:30 +0000

Students are introduced to families (groups) within the periodic table that have the same number of electrons in their outer energy orbitals. Tests are conducted to determine if those elements have similar chemical activity. This kit includes two experiments, one in which students determine the reactivity of the nonmetals in the halogen family and one in which they observe the properties of oxygen. Worksheets focus on identifying characteristics of elements within the halogen, oxygen and nitrogen families, separation methods, and the observed chemical reactions. Kit includes all required chemicals, reproducible procedures for laboratory experiments, a test, and answer keys. Required, but not included: chemical ventilation hood, general lab supplies. Includes nitric acid. Designed for 24 students working in six groups of four. Grades 9-12

PERIODIC TABLE KIT I

adminbenscience — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 17:09:54 +0000

Through a series of experiments, students are introduced to the arrangement of the periodic table, the characteristics of the elements in different periods and groups of the table, and the key differences between metals and nonmetals. Students evaluate the luster, density, and thermal and electrical conductivity of a variety of metals, then investigate physical and chemical properties of metals and nonmetals. Students test the bleaching ability of chlorine and iodine and test for the presence of starch. Includes all materials required for experiments, vocabulary worksheets, experiment worksheets, reproducible laboratory procedures, a crossword puzzle, a test, a research project on historical aspects of the periodic table, and answer keys. Required, but not included: balance, 1.5 volt battery, alcohol burners, and general laboratory supplies.
Designed for 24 students working in six groups of four. Grades 7-12

ELEMENTS, COMPOUNDS & MIXTURES II KIT

adminbenscience — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 17:02:08 +0000

This kit illustrates the concepts of elements, compounds, and mixtures with special emphasis on creating new compounds in chemical reactions. Students witness evidence of chemical changes identified by the formation of precipitates, color changes, odors, or the production of gas. The kit includes enough materials to repeat the experiment twice, with vocabulary and activity worksheets focused on chemical symbols, chemical formulas, chemical names, components of common compounds, and distinguishing between chemical and physical changes. Answer keys included. Required, but not included: balance and laboratory supplies. Designed for 24 students working in six groups of four.

ELEMENTS, COMPOUNDS & MIXTURES I KIT

adminbenscience — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 16:55:25 +0000

In the laboratory, students identify that a mixture can be separated using one of a variety of methods such as evaporation, distillation, filtration, or crystallization when differences in solubility exist. Experiment one is designed to separate a mixture of an element and a compound using solubility and filtration. Experiment two is designed to separate a mixture of two compounds using solubility and filtration. Experiment three is designed to separate a mixture using chromatography. Experiment four is designed to separate a mixture by evaporation. Includes all required chemicals, vocabulary exercise, and reproducible laboratory procedures and worksheets. Required, but not included: balance and laboratory supplies. Designed for 24 students working in groups of four. Meets national standards for grades 7-10.
