Project Idea

1
Project Idea

• From the experience of Chemistry Olympiad/ Joint
  School Science Exhibition

2
Chemical Lunch Box

• Self-heating lunch box
• Exothermic reactions
• Iron, oxygen and water
• Supersaturated solution, e.g. sodium thiosulphate
  pentahydrate
• Calcium oxide and water
• Safety

3
New Century Materials

• Compare polystyrene lunch box and biodegradable
  lunch box
• Compare wool and superwarm (poly-texapore)

4
Investigative study on polystyrene lunch box and
biodegradable one

• Compare
• Degree of complete combustion
• Action on heat/ conc. Acid
• Biodegradability
• Effect of sunlight

5
Investigative study on wool and superwarm
(polytexapore)

• Compare
• Ability to keep warm
• Stretching ability
• Resistance to burn
• Ability to absorb water

6
Amazing Miracle

• Use milk in making
• Plastic
• Glue
• Invisible glove
• Photographic film
• Fire resistant paint

7
Toilet Save Our World

• Prepare cellulose acetate
• Used to prepare a membrane for reverse osmosis
• To filter sea water to water with lower salinity
• Use for cleaning irrigation

8
Home Chemistry

• Ketchup to clean the copper coins
• Use soda, aluminium can to clean silver plate

9
Functions of teacher
