A twist on the classic "elephant toothpaste" experiment, this kit uses yeast instead of iodine to perform the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, which produces a milder reaction, making it safer to perform at home. This fun demonstration causes small eruption of foam from a bottle as the catalyzed reaction occurs. Students will learn about chemical reactions, phase changes, and catalysts. Demonstration allows learners to visualize the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by mixing in dish soap and adding yeast as a catalyst. Includes an instruction manual with worksheets, safety data sheets and enough materials to perform the experiment twice.
Kit Includes:
- Hydrogen Peroxide, 3% (50mL)
- Dish Soap (6mL)
- Empty Bottle, 8 ounces
- Yeast (2g)
- 2 Plastic Cups (5oz)
- 2 Stir Sticks
- Instruction Manual with activity worksheets
- Safety Data Sheets
The Science at Home series by Innovating Science is designed to offer engaging activities and educational content to young learners at home. Kits incorporate applied math and science principles into homeschool-based projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology. Innovating Science products, manufactured by Aldon Corporation, include educational kits for the chemistry, life science, green chemistry, advanced placement chemistry, and forensic fields.
