Forensic Chemistry & Drug Detection - Distance Learning Kit

• EXPLORE FORENSIC CHEMISTRY || Introduces learners to the basics of forensic chemistry and the process of drug detection
• ENGAGING DEMONSTRATION || This activity allows learners to simulate the work of forensic toxicologists and attempt to solve the mystery of who tainted the chili in the school cafeteria
• LEARNING CONCEPTS || Learners will perform a series of chemical tests on the cafeteria ingredients and a control sample of aspirin, to determine if all the ingredients are what they are supposed to be
• EXCELLENT FOR REMOTE LEARNING || Includes an instruction manual with worksheets and enough materials for two groups of students
• INCLUDES ALL REQUIRED MATERIALS || Includes Acetylsalicylic acid (control), corn starch, salt, sugar, sodium hyroxide (1M), Ferric nitrate (0.2M), Lugol's iodine, deionized water, toothpicks, plastic scoops and microreaction plates

Everyone who ate the school cafeteria’s chili became ill. Could someone have tainted the chili? You are a forensic toxicologist, and it is up to you to determine if any of the ingredients in the cafeteria could have been substituted for aspirin, which appears to have been stolen from the nurse’s office. You will perform a series of chemical tests on the cafeteria ingredients and a control sample of aspirin, to determine if all the ingredients are what they are supposed to be. Kit contains an Instruction Manual and enough material for 2 groups.
