Determining the voltage of different cells
Part 1: Determining the pH of solutions using the drop counter
Ionization constant determination (long, but interesting) - Check out the nice color changes of red cabbage (red - colorless - green - yellow) as the pH of the solution is changed!
Calculations related to the experiment
Nice demonstration of equilibrium - try this at home
Experiment to determine the reaction rate with respect to crystal violet
A simple experiment to test the effect of temperature on the reaction rates of a glow stick.
For those with a Logger pro, here's how you can determine the activation energy of green glowsticks!
Iodination of acetone - determining the rate and order of a chemical reaction
A simple experiment to try at home to determine factors such as temperature and amount of substance affecting the rates of chemical reactions. As usual, be aware of the hazards when handling hot materials and acids. Post images of your observations on the general discussion board on Blackboard for extra credit.

Setting up the Vernier gadgets for the experiment
Use Molview to create models of the following molecules:
A simple experiment to try at home to determine the rates of evaporation of common solutions
You can also determine the effect of varying amounts of solute on the rate of evaporation. Example: compare rates of evaporation of plain water, water with one, two, and three spoons of sugar. Observe the effect of increasing amounts of solute on the rate of evaporation of solvent (water). Post images of your observations on the general discussion board on Blackboard.
