Week Six - Chemistry - Avogadro and Stoichiometry

Our next Chemistry class will meet on July 3rd - enjoy your Take-Home Midterm!

Our last three Chemistry meetings will be on July 3rd, 8th and 10th.
Biochemistry will start on July 17th.

And here are your Assignments for Avogadro and Molar Mass
And your chance to try out some cool experiments in the comfort of your own kitchen:

Science Toys
Learn how to make toys at home with common household materials, often in only a few minutes, that demonstrate fascinating scientific principles. Some examples:  a plastic hydrogen bomb (!), building a hydrogen fuel cell, simple heat engines, a film can cannon, a metal that melts in hot water, a Bernoulli levitation ball, the impossible kaleidoscope and much more.

And here are a couple of links on Alchemy:
