This is a classic chemistry experiment. Remember to bring the lab handout!
Copper makes two kinds of salts:
- Cuprous salts (such as cuprous chloride, CuCl) are colorless.
- Cupric salts (such as cupric sulfate, CuSO4) have a range of bright blue colors.
- We will make several copper compounds which demonstrate synthesis, replacement, and decomposition reactions. The end results are brilliant blue and greenish-blue compounds that are pretty cool to look at.

Oil Spill lab
Create an 'oil spill' and test various chemical methods of cleanup, including dispersants, detergents, acids, bases, solvents, direct burning, and absorbent 'blankets'
