CHEMICAL DEMONSTRATION EQUIPMENT AND CHEMICAL LOG

GLOVES AND GOGGLES should be used when performing any of these demonstrations, no matter how benign the components.

To acces a demonstration from this page click on its "File Name". To access other demonstration in "non-frames" mode, click the "Back" button built into your browser to return to this screen. To navigate in the "frames" mode use the Tree Menu™ in the left frame.

*NOTE: All materials are included in the demonstration kits UNLESS otherwise stated in the "Equipment Not In Kit" column. All items are available in the stockroom. It is RECOMMENDED that prior to using in the classroom that you check to make sure the demo is in working order. If it is not please return it to the stockroom and let one of the Lab Technicians know.
