Chemistry Physical Labs

Printable student handouts for the hands-on chemistry labs I run in class with real equipment, for Chemistry, Honors Chemistry and AP Chemistry. Each lab page has a video, materials list, and data tables. The tags on each lab show the concepts it focuses on. Take them, adapt them, and use them in your own room.

Chemistry and Honors Chemistry

Flame Test Forensics

Flame tests

Emission spectra

Photon energy

Bohr model

CER

Test seven metal chlorides in a Bunsen burner flame, try to identify a mystery sample from a fire scene, and find out where the flame test falls short.

Net Ionic Equations Lab

Precipitates

Solubility

Net ionic equations

Spectator ions

Single replacement

Mix drops of salt solutions on a watch glass at seven stations, look for evidence of a reaction, and use the results to write net ionic equations.

AP Chemistry

Peroxide Check: A Redox Titration

Redox titration

Standardizing

Half-reactions

Mole ratios

Error analysis

Standardize a KMnO4 solution, then titrate drugstore hydrogen peroxide to find out whether the bottle still holds the 3% on its label.

Everything on ZornScience is free to use in your classroom. If this saved you some prep time, you can buy me a coffee. Always appreciated, never expected.
