Are you wondering how to turn abstract chemistry concepts into tangible experiments for your high school or college students? In this video, Vernier chemistry experts Dr. Melissa Hill and Nüsret Hisim demonstrate two key electrochemistry experiments that connect the mole concept to observable real-world phenomena and follow the principles of green chemistry. By incorporating these into your chemistry curriculum, you’ll help your students visualize abstract ideas like Avogadro’s number and electron transfer, making challenging concepts more perceptible and relevant.
What you’ll learn
- How to set up and conduct electrochemistry investigations using the new Electrochemistry Half-Cell Plate and Metals Kit, allowing students to see and measure real chemical reactions happening in real time
- Methods for using the Go Direct® Constant Current System and the Go Direct Voltage Probe to collect precise data
- Strategies for incorporating green chemistry principles, such as using safer alternatives, microscale quantities, and reusable materials into the experiment
