Gluep Production—Guided-Inquiry Kit
By: Laura Trout
Lancaster Country Day School, Lancaster, PA
The Gluep Production Lab is a real-life, open-ended, discovery activity with an
element of corporate competition. Student research teams are challenged to use
the scientific method to improve a polymer recipe and make a bouncier Gluep
ball—all while staying on a fixed budget. Students design and conduct their own
mini-research project as they try to win the contract to manufacture Gluep. A fantastic
opportunity for students to learn about the scientific method and polymers while
having fun at the same time! Includes Teacher Notes, reproducible student handouts
and all necessary equipment and chemicals.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs. Includes Flinn Exclusive STEM
Integration Guide.

Grow-Dino Measurement—
Student Laboratory Kit
By: John Mauch and Ira Hickman
Do Grow-Dinos really grow more than 600% when placed in water? Your students
will find out as they investigate the growth of a polymer dinosaur over a period
of five days. Physical measurements—length, height, thickness, perimeter, area,
volume, mass and density—will be taken daily as the dino is soaked in water each
night. Changes in the dinosaur measurements will be graphed and analyzed. A great
lab activity to provide practice in measuring, graphing and making calculations;
fun for all levels. Includes Teacher Notes, reproducible student handouts with Dino
data tables and Dino graph sheets, 15 Grow-Dinos, metric rulers, storage bags and
measuring string.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs.

Modeling Nanotechnology—
Encapsulation by Sodium
Alginate—Student
Laboratory Kit
By: Brett Criswell, Central Columbia H.S., Bloomsburg, PA
An exciting 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.

Polyurethane Foam Hearts—
Student Laboratory Kit
Make valentine hearts for that special someone!
In this lab, students create a heart out of polyurethane foam by mixing equal
amounts of polyurethane parts A and B. This lightweight foam expands to about 30
times its original liquid volume and will become rigid in about 5 minutes. The hearts
can be shaped or colored to suit individual, student preference, combining art and
chemistry in a way that will develop your students scientific reasoning skills.
Complete for 24 students working in groups of 2.
