Chemical Demonstrations


Click on the links below to expand each menu and then download and/or print individual demonstrations or chapters. You can order demonstrations for each lecture by selecting on the required demonstration(s) in the list and then pressing 'Order'. Please note that a maximum of 1 demonstrations can be ordered for any lecture.

Videos of numerous demonstrations are also available on the Chemistry Technical Operations sharepoint site.

Experiments marked with *** are not currently available due to a unpredictability and limited resources in the technical team as we restart demonstrations after the online semesters. Please contact Gavin Burland to discuss individual requests with strong justification.

Worksheets are now available for some demonstrations. These are designed to engage the students with the demonstrations and to provide opportunities for them to practice with the concepts being developed in the demonstration. Print out copies and give them to students to complete before, during and after the demonstration.
