Product Information
Developing microscale chemistry experiments, using small quantities of chemicals and simple equipment, has been a recent initiative in the UK. Microscale experiments have several advantages over conventional experiments: they use small quantities of chemicals and simple equipment which reduces costs; the disposal of chemicals is easier due to the smaller quantities; safety hazards are often reduced and many experiments can be done quickly; using plastic apparatus means glassware breakages are minimized; and practical work can be done outside the laboratory. This is a book of such experiments designed for use in schools and colleges, and the ideas behind the experiments come from many sources, including chemistry teachers from all around the world. Current trends indicate that with the likelihood of further environmental legislation, the need for microscale chemistry teaching techniques and experiments is likely to grow. This work should serve as a guide in this process.Product Identifiers
