HST has provided two lists, one for ordering the chemicals needed for our experiments and another list for ordering ​ ​ equipment and supplies. (Either click the URL or copy/paste it into your browser). ​ ChemExplained.com Chemical List: ​ ​ https://www.homesciencetools.com/wishlist.php?publicwishlist=bbdd79a3ffdb49bea2f6190f1ed516ca ChemExplained.com Equipment and Supplies List: ​ ​ https://www.homesciencetools.com/wishlist.php?publicwishlist=58f7c118d539e795af6cac108ed80fca From the HST staff: “Please note that adding all items in a wish list at once will only add 1 item, please advise parents/students to adjust quantities on the items accordingly.” ——————————————————————————————————————————— Please READ THIS before ordering. A number of ChemExplained.com experiments require heat. ​ The heat source listed below in our Equipment list is a propane or butane torch kit. These may be ​ ​ purchased at Home Depot, Ace Hardware or Mills Fleet Farm stores for ~ $25. The replacement butane or propane gas refill containers for these torches cost ~ $4. When these torches are used ​ in an experiment, they must be “hand-held,” because if they are left upright while lit, they can tip over and cause a fire hazard. Home Science Tools (HST) sells a Portable Micro Lab Burner ​ for ~ $52. Butane fuel refill cartridges cost ~ $6. This burner is “tip-resistant” and provides safe, stable operation during an experiment and is recommended, but it cannot be used for Lab #6. In ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ all of our experiments, no burner of any kind may be used without adult supervision. Laboratory balances are also required in a number of experiments. Balances accurate to 0.01 g ​ (1/100th of a gram) provide the best results. However, lab balances accurate to 0.1 g (1/10th of a ​ gram) can also be used. Amazon.com sells an AMIR Digital Kitchen Scale for ~ $12 (accurate to 0.01 g). Recommended! HST sells an Economy Pocket Scale for ~ $15 (accurate to 0.1 g) ​ ​ In Lab #9, a Molecular Model kit from HST costs ~$22. A bag of colored marshmallows plus toothpicks can also be used for ~ $4. Amazon.com (Industrial & Scientific area) has many of our items listed at discount prices. ——————————————————————————————————————————— Master Lab Equipment and Supplies List for ChemExplained.com 1 The numbers following the items below are the Lab experiments that item is used in. ​ ​ Equipment Supplies 1 - 100 mL graduated cylinder - 3, 5, 17, 18 Dawn soap - 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 14-15, 18 1 - 50 mL graduated cylinder - 3, 10 Food coloring (red, blue and yellow) - 1 1 - 25 mL graduated cylinder - 13, 14-15, 18 Garbage (trash) bag - 18 1 - 10 mL graduated cylinder - 1, 3, 4, 18 Pliers or wire cutter - 3, 5, 14-15 3 - 50 mL beaker - 1, 4 Copper wire or cylinder - 3, 5 2 - 250 mL beaker - 3, 7, 10, 13, 14-15, 17, 18 Aluminum wire or cylinder - 3, 14-15 1 - 800 mL (or 1000 mL) beaker - 12, 16 Toothpicks - 5 ​ ​ 10 - Test tubes (16 x 150 mm, large) - 1, 5, 10, 16 Black marker (Vis-A-Vis) - 1, 7, 13 ​ ​ 1 - Funnel (100 mm diameter) - 1, 13, 14-15, 17, 18 Karo syrup - 3 ​ ​ 1 - Test tube rack (6 holes) - 1, 5, 10 Sandwich bags (sealable) - 4, 18 ​ ​ 1 - Test tube brush (large) - 3, 4, 5, 13, 14-15, 18 Vinegar - 4, 18 ​ ​ 1 - Test tube holder (or clamp) - 5, 16 Table salt (sodium chloride) - 5, 7, 10, 14-15 ​ ​ ​ ​ 1 - Lab balance - 3, 4, 5, 11, 12, 13, 14-15, 16, 17, 18 Baking soda - 4 10 - Dropper pipet (1 mL) - 1, 3, 4, 5, 10, 12, 18 Wood splints (or toothpicks) - 5 ​ ​ 1 - Scoopula/Spatula (20 cm) - 4, 5, 7, 11, 12, 13, 14-15, 17, 18 Scissors - 10, 14-15 ​ ​ ​ 1 - Forceps (stainless steel) - 5, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14-15 Microscope glass slide - 5, 14-15 ​ ​ 1 - Ring stand/support (4” x 6” base) - 5, 11, 12, 13, 14-15, 16 Pencil (#2) - 8, 10, 13.
