Office Supply Science 1: Electrolysis with common office binder clips

Materials: 1x 250 ml beaker 1x 250 erlenmeyer flask 2x office two-part binder clips 2x lengths of wire for connections Directions: Prepare materials as outlined above. Straighten the binder clip so the entire length is unbent, then drop the binder clip into the erlenmeyer flask. Place at the desired electrode length, making sure that some of the clip remains exposed above the lip for the end, plus enough to fold…

Science Experiments to Come : a list in progress
are closed

Having recently adapted my former office to a small-scale lab and workshop, I’ve decided to plot out a few of the experiments planned as I refresh myself on some of the biology basics. 1. Calculating the volume of gas generated by fermentation, and plotting the daily rate of gas production 2.Studying the effects of high-frequency sound on the physical structure of various cell types 3.Time-lapse photography of a bacterial colony…
