- Experiment kit designed to teach students the difference between forensic chemistry and forensic toxicology
- Using the provided chemicals, students will test for hazardous chemicals in simulated material, identify unknown samples, and perform presumptive tests on over-the-counter drugs
- Kit contains enough material for 15 groups, including chemicals, observation sheets, and student exercise copymasters
- Perfect experiment for high school chemistry and forenscis classes and beyond
- Safety data sheets included to inform safe storage and maintenance of chemicals
In this lab, the student learns the difference between forensic chemistry and forensic toxicology. They gain knowledge in understanding how over-the-counter drugs, controlled drugs, and illegal drugs may act as toxins. Students will have the opportunity to perform presumptive chemical tests on drugs and poisons, identify unknown samples based on chemical test results, and examine urine for evidence of heavy metal poisoning using chromatography. Safety data sheets, teacher's manual, and student study guide copymasters are included. This kit contains enough material for 15 groups.
