Innovating Science Electric Art Demonstration Kit (Materials for 5 Demonstrations)

A copper “pen” will be used to electrolyze a solution of potassium iodide and draw on a piece of filter paper. The color of the “ink” will change depending on whether the copper is acting as the cathode or the anode in the electrolytic cell. There are enough materials to complete the demonstration 5 times. Aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)* Disciplinary Core Ideas: PS1.A; PS1.B Performance Expectations: MS-PS1-2; HS-PS1-2 Cross Cutting Concepts: Patterns Engineering Practices: Analyzing and Interpreting Data; Constructing Explanations and Designing SolutionsKit Includes:25 mL Phenolphthalein, 1% Solution8 g Potassium Iodide2.5 g Soluble Starch1 Copper Wire1 Aluminum Pan1 Red connecting Wire1 Black connecting Wire10 Filter Paper Pieces5 Plastic StrawsInnovating Science products, manufactured by Aldon Corporation, include educational kits for the chemistry, life science, green chemistry, advanced placement chemistry, and forensic fields.
