Encapsulation by Sodium
Alginate—Student Laboratory Kit
By: Brett Criswell, Central Columbia H.S., Bloomsburg, PA
An exciting new breakthrough in nanotechnology involves the delivery and transport
of medicines to treatment areas in the body by encapsulating drugs in molecular
“cages” consisting of nanoparticles. In this modern, hands-on lab activity, students
will model this technology on a larger scale using sodium alginate, a natural polymer
from seaweed. When sodium alginate is added to a solution containing calcium ions,
calcium alginate precipitates out as micro-spheres. These “capsules” can be used to
trap and also release indicator dye molecules.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs. Reusable 6-well reaction plates are
recommended and available separately.

Reaction Order and Rate
Laws—Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
In this laboratory activity, students will perform the reaction between hydrochloric
acid and sodium thiosulfate solutions at various reactant concentrations. By monitoring
the appearance of the solid product sulfur, the effect of each reactant on the rate
will be determined. The data will then be used to determine the order of each reactant
and the rate law. Includes reproducible student handouts, detailed background
information and complete Teacher Notes with sample data, calculations and answers
to questions, plus all necessary chemicals and specialized equipment.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs. Fifteen reusable, six-well reaction plates
are required and available separately.

This microscale version of the iodine clock challange will surely spark inquiry-based
questions in your lab! Students run and time eight trials simultaneously! The effects
of concentration, temperature and a catalyst on the rate of an iodine clock reaction
are tested. A starch solution acts as an indicator and produces a dark blue reaction
endpoint. All chemicals and specialized equipment are provided.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs.

What’s So Big About
Nanotechnology?
Activity-Stations Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Simply set up the four mini-lab activities around the classroom and allow students
to rotate through the stations that include:
• Placing objects in order of relative size from the astronomical to the atomic level.
• Exploring the properties of a magnetic fluid.
• Simulating a method of using nanoparticles to deliver medicine to targeted cells.
• Investigating water-repellent sand.
Includes Teacher Notes with sample data, extensive background information,
reproducible student handouts and all necessary supplies.
Complete for 24 students working in groups of three.
