Salters' Chemistry Club: electroplating a design
This resource describes an activity for an informal chemistry club, students design a key ring fob or a tag for a pet and electroplate it. The aim is to convey the excitement of chemistry and develop students’ curiosity...
Salters' Chemistry Club: electroplating faces
This resource describes an activity for an informal chemistry club, electroplating is used to plate a thin layer of a valuable metal on top of a less valuable one. Students have a go at plating the faces on foreign coins....
Salters' Chemistry Club: fake stained glass
This resource describes activities for an informal chemistry club. The aim is to convey the excitement of chemistry and develop students’ curiosity. Students make sugar glass using food colouring to give a stained glass appearance.
Salters' Chemistry Club: find the combination of the safe
This resource describes an activity for an informal chemistry club, the concentrations of four solutions hold the secret that will undo the lock to a safe. Students use their skill at titration to find the letters and numbers of...
Salters' Chemistry Club: fire writing
This resource describes an activity for an informal chemistry club, this experiment involves setting fire to paper. The ‘ink’ contains an oxidising agent which, when heated, provides more oxygen to keep the reaction going....
Salters' Chemistry Club: fizzing in the kitchen
This resource describes an activity for an informal chemistry club, students investigate chemical reactions using common foods. They investigate which foods fizz when acid is added to them and which gas is given off. They then...
Salters' Chemistry Club: fizzy dancing
This resource describes an activity for an informal chemistry club, students dissolve carbon dioxide in water and the bubbles make small objects rise and fall. The aim is to convey the excitement of chemistry and develop...
Salters' Chemistry Club: floating soap bubbles
This resource describes an activity for an informal chemistry club, in which students float bubbles on carbon dioxide gas to examine them more closely. The aim is to develop students' excitement of chemistry and develop their...
Salters' Chemistry Club: foam fire extinguisher
This resource describes an activity for an informal chemistry club during which students use a foaming agent to make a foam fire extinguisher. The aim is to develop students' excitement and curiosity about chemistry and chemical...
Salters' Chemistry Club: handwarmers
This resource describes an activity for an informal chemistry club, students use an exothermic reaction to make a heat pack. The aim is to convey the excitement of chemistry and develop students’ curiosity.
