<p>Have you ever done a fun lab in your chemistry class? Please share! My teacher may consider replacing the final multiple choice portion with a fun, interactive lab on the last day of school since we’ve already taken the AP. Labs should be fun yet educational, and can involve food. The labs should take about 1.5 - 2 hours to complete. </p>
<p>Please share your experiences or direct me to sites. Thanks!</p>
<p>methane bubbles
making soap like fight club</p>
<p>We burned gummy bears with KClO4 and made silver plated test tubes</p>
<p>I second the gummy bear lab. Here’s a video. [YouTube</a> - Gummy Bear in molten potassium chlorate](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUensqImzXM]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUensqImzXM)</p>
<p>I don’t recommend doing it in a beaker with 7 gummy bears, though.</p>
<p>Thanks for your suggestions! </p>
<p>More will be appreciated! Any labs that will take about an hour and a half?</p>
<p>we tie dyed shirts by chemically creating the dyes from everything we’d learned about organic (our class is AP/IB and kids take both tests, so we spent forever on organic for the IB options, but your class could definitely do it too). The tie dye was really fun and came out really well!</p>
<p>For christmas we made silver plated ornaments. (tollens test)
We have made/ are making: pralines, soap, ice cream, bouncy balls, foam, peanut brittle, fragrant esters (fruit scents), and more i forget.</p>
<p>no such thing as “fun” in my chem class >.></p>
<p>making icecream!</p>
<p>preparation of aspirin </p>
<p>awesome lab</p>
<p>Chemistry can never be fun, just accept it :)</p>
<p>Ooh, we did aspirin too, forgot that.</p>
<p>we did aspirin before the AP test. Now we’re doing “Lab Ka of an indicator”…and we have to prepare ALL of our solutions…damn…</p>
<p>is aspirin hard to make?</p>
<p>Freezing Point Depression… ICE CREAM! WOO!</p>
