Elephant Toothpaste Elementary Chemistry Kit – Materials for up to 5 Groups
A twist on the classic “elephant toothpaste” experiment, this kit uses yeast instead of iodine to perform the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, making it safer to perform in the classroom. This fun demonstration causes a jet of foam to erupt from a bottle as the catalyzed reaction occurs. Students will learn about chemical reactions, phase changes, and catalysts. This kit contains enough material for 5 groups, and includes a teacher’s guide and safety data sheets for all materials.
