High School Chem Lab Manual from 1960's

AvBaeyer - 30-12-2016 at 20:00

I recently found an on-line copy of the CHEM Study laboratory manual used in the 1960's (the good old days?) I remember this book well and had a copy of it in my basement lab. In any event, I thought that beginners and old hands alike might enjoy this book. Indeed, there are quite a few interesting experiments that can be run in the home lab described. Also note what we would call today the lack of chemophobia in many of the experiments - chemistry was fun AND informative. No baking soda and vinagar experiments! I hope that you will find this enjoyable.

What a great book !

Thanks for taking the trouble to share it.

Page 18 : use simple apparatus to heat the crap out of 7 different substances at once to see what melts/smokes/burns/glows red hot.

Now that is a very good way to grab the attention !

This looks great AvB. Thanks.
I will print it out early in the new year and scavenge its contents for ideas that I can give to my students.

Hey, I have that book! And the classroom text, with the teacher's manual.

If I had a scanner, I'd be happy to share!

One of the interesting book that use for high school chemistry class is "The Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments"

(i think maybe it was used in USA high school for teaching chemistry )
