Chemistry without a lab
So much for being “more active over the next few months”. It has taken nearly a year to develop the additional pages I promised in the last post. In the meantime I have been busy with other projects and on the road with the Kitchen Chemistry show.
» Read moreFinally I’ve had time to take a look at the website. The latest issue of experiments in the Mole are now on the Avogadro’s lab page. There is also a new page on “Amazing Maizena”.
» Read moreApologies for the long absence. I’ve had two major projects on the go. First I was finishing off the Kitchen Chemistry course for Futurelearn, and then I was in South Africa for two weeks for the National Science Festival, Scifest Africa.
» Read moreIn a new departure The Kitchen Chemist is putting on a free online course as part of the Futurelearn initiative. Are you interested in chemistry that can be done in the kitchen? The course starts in April but you can register now at https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/kitchen-chemistry.
» Read moreAnother instalment of Avogadro’s lab is available. In this issue we explain the chemical principle behind the batteries that power our mobile world and make a simple electrochemical cell. You can get to the article using this link. Alternatively you can download the whole of the first issue of 2014 using this link.
» Read moreThose of you who have browsed through the site might have noticed the large beakers that I use for the shows. These are a good size for large demonstrations and very easy to transport as they pack flat and are almost unbreakable.

This has now been changed and it now reflects the front page of the main site. I have also tinkered with the Avogadro’s Lab contents as a new article has been published. […]
» Read moreAnother update for the site this week. I’ve put up links to the articles that I have written for the Royal Society of Chemistry that have been published in “The Mole”, the regular insert to Education in Chemistry.
» Read moreI am trying to continually augment and refresh the site content. This week, however, I have only been able to make a small update. Check out Miscellany to find it.
» Read moreJust a note to let you know an experiment was added to the site. Find the so-called whoosh bottle under exothermic reactions. Have fun, but be careful!
