-Toxicology in Chemical Reactions-
Open ended question
If you were to design a science experiment to test the effectiveness of different natural and synthetic substances in neutralizing the harmful effects of common toxins, which substances would you choose and why? How might you go about measuring the effectiveness of each substance, and what factors would you need to consider to ensure the experiment is fair and accurate?
Outline
In this section, students will learn about chemical dosage and formula of reactions:
Basic chemical information
-
identifying the reactant and product
-
signs of chemical reaction
-
balancing chemcial equations
-
thermochemistry anaylsis on endothermic and exothermic reactions
-
percent yield= 100% x absolute value (actual yield / predicted yield)
​

*NOTE FOR INSTRUCTORS:
keep the lessons in this section fun and simple, have the student think about the different pathways of exposure and how the body can defense towards foreign substances.
