I. Seed Bag Construction Purpose: To construct sterile seed bags for seed burial. Bags allow soil and microbes to contact seeds while excluding insects and other arthropods that might damage seeds. Number of bags: 18 bags per plot are required, along with two bags to be used as field controls and an additional two as lab controls. We typically have 2 or 3 plots per site. Materials: 50μm polyester filter material (https://www.dudadiesel.com/search.php?query=%2Bpolyester+%2Bsheet) Scissors Rulers Staplers and staples Aluminum foil Laminar flow hood or alcohol burner Forceps, spoonulas, teaspoons etc. Infrared or bead sterilizer, or alcohol burner and ETOH for sterilizing tools Autoclave Seeds 1.

  • Making Biodiesel
    Summer Academy 2013 Making Biodiesel Description: There are many benefits of using biofuel as an alternative to petroleum-based fuel. Biodiesel is a renewable fuel made from biologically based oils (vegetable, canola, soybeans etc…) and can be used to power a diesel engine. The chemistry involved in making small scale biodiesel is an easy process that can be done with a few simple chemicals. In today’s lesson, we will be doing background on biodiesel, making a batch of biodiesel and testing it for viscosity, Objectives: x Students will compare physical and chemical properties of vegetable oils x Students will explore the background of biodiesel and look at the economical and environmental benefits of biodiesel x Student will demonstrate the process of making biodiesel on a small scale Standards covered: x 9-10.2.2 Use appropriate safety equipment and precautions during investigations (e.g., goggles, apron, eye wash station) x 9-10.2.7 Maintain clear and accurate records of scientific investigations x 9-10.3.2 Classify changes in matter as physical or chemical Session Organization 9:00-9:30 Cultural connection and general organization 9:30-10:00 Background information 10:00-11:00 Internet activity and discussion finding background on biodiesel 11:00-12:00 Activity making biodiesel 12:00-12:30 Lunch 12:30-1:30 Activity: comparing density and viscosity 1:30-2:30 Activity: calculating heat content in biodiesel vs. diesel 2:30-3:00 Wrap up 1 Activity One: Background information on Biodiesel Using the internet, find the definitions for the

  • Chemistry of Combustion Grade/Subject: 8Th Science
    Chemistry of Combustion Grade/Subject: 8th Science Strand/Standard 8.1.3 Plan and conduct an investigation and then analyze and interpret the data to identify patterns in changes in a substance’s properties to determine whether a chemical reaction has occurred. Examples could include changes in properties such as color, density, flammability, odor, solubility, or state. (PS1.A, PS1.B) Lesson Performance Expectations: Students will be able to explain the concept of combustion-burning of materials Materials: ● Demonstration/investigation materials: ● 1 Magnesium strip or coil ● 1 Bunsen burner and tubing ● 1 tub with soapy water ● Student investigation materials: ● large jar or beaker ● Combustibles: marshmallows, crackers, peanuts, paper, candle, cardboard etc. ● Lighter or wooden splint (the teacher may wish to do the lighting if you do not want students to have lighters) ● Long tweezers, dissecting probes or another method of holding the burning object ● A tin pie pan for burning items to drop into or be placed into ● A tub of water for emergency flame stoppage Time: 1-2 50 minute periods Teacher Background Information: Chemical reactions with knowledge of reactants and products (bonds are broken and formed) Combustion reactions-Reactions involving the burning of fossil fuels which releases energy for doing work Student Background Knowledge: Students do not need to know about chemical reactions in detail. A short introduction will be sufficient. They need to know what a chemical reaction is and how they work on paper in terms of reactants and products. They will need to be introduced to the concept of combustion-burning fuel to release energy.
