Lab Kit for use with Abeka Chemistry Grade 11

Contains materials for completing the labs 1-24 and 27 in the Abeka Chemistry: Precision and Design (Grade 11, 3rd edition).

NEW AND IMPROVED APRIL 2022. These kits have been re-designed with the homeschooler in mind. This kit is intended for parent use for homeschool or small student group. Additional materials may need to be purchased for labs with multiple groups of students in a classroom or completing multiples of the same labs. It includes items that are not designed or intended for children ages 12 and under.

Some colors of products may vary from the photo shown (such as clay, food coloring, etc) or products may vary with different suppliers, but be rest assured that product substitutions are evaluated as a replacement in-kind and to provide the same learning experience.

NOTE: Materials for the Demonstration Labs 25 and 26 have been omitted due to the cost of the equipment and supplies. A substitute material may be suggested for some labs, please refer to the Contents section below for additional information on materials and designed use. Keep materials after each activity as some are intended to be re-used throughout the year (that includes cups, string, clay, etc). 

Some labs may be performed sequentially to reduce the number of materials needed to complete the lab. We understand this will extend the lab time; however, this strategy allows us to keep the kit price reasonable. Glassware has been provided so that home or kitchen glassware does not need to be used with chemicals. 

This kit contains materials in order to cover the entire curriculum (one year). As a result they are large, and we suggest that you remove all the items from the box in preparation for the school year and each activity.
