2. Preface. Hello, the young researcher! My name is Marina Gumovich and I am a pupil of the 11th form in Mezhdureche secondary school, Murmansk region. I am fond of Information Technology and Chemistry, Music and Physics.Since the 5th form I have been doing different researches as a member of school ecological society “The little prince”. I decided to unite your and my interests in this project, dear colleague-researcher. It is said that wisdom should be learnt by the follies of others, but my proposal for you is to learn with the help of my projects. And for example I offer you to use the electronic version of the course, which was created in POWERPOINT program. Here I managed to combine my interests in chemistry and physics. It will be glad if this manual helps you in your own researchers. Chemical laboratory Start page

7. distribution of water in nature, characteristics of water Lesson №1 Water is one of the most widespread combinations on the Earth.Molecules of water were found in the interstellar space.Most of the planets in Solar system, their satellites and comets have water in their structure. The greatest amount of water is in seas and oceans. Living organisms contain 70% of water. Water (hydrogen oxide) Н2О isthe elementary steadycompound of hydrogen and oxygen. It is the liquid without smell, taste and color. Chemical laboratory Start page Next Lessons about water

8. distribution of water in nature, characteristics of water Lesson №1 1.Water as solvent. Water is the solvent for many substances. It is used by human being for cleaning his own body and for clearing the objects of human activity. Water is used as the solvent both at home and in the industry. Every morning you wake up and make a cup of tea or coffee. When you cook you also use water. For example to dissolute salt .

9. distribution of water in nature, characteristics of water Lesson №1 2.Water gives elasticity. Penetrating into the cell through membranes and making the high pressure in it (turgor) , water gives elasticity to leaves, flowers petals and grass stalks. When the soil is dry, the leaves begin to wilt and fall down. A very simple experiment can prove this characteristic. Chemical laboratory Chemical laboratory Back Start page Next Lessons about

Chromatography is a method of differentiation the mixtures of substances or particles. As a result we can get chromatogram.

20. Chemical laboratory. Crystals growth. The process of crystals growth at home can be divided into following steps: Step 1: Solve the saltwhich is necessary for crystal growth ( for example table salt or copper sulfate) in warm water (warm water can solve the bigger amount of salt than the water of room temperature).You should solve the salt until it cannot solve anymore (the solution must be saturated!). Chemical laboratory Back Start page Next Lessons about water

21. Chemical laboratory. Crystals growth. Step 2:Pour the saturated solution into another container, where crystals growth can be made (you should notice the fact the crystal will enlarge). The solution should remain warm during this step. Chemical laboratory Back Start page Next Lessons about water

22. Chemical laboratory. Crystals growth. Step 3: Fasten the salt crystal to a thread, at the same time thread should be fastened to a pencil, for example. Put the pencil on the glass brim, where the saturated solution is. Put the crystal down into the solution. Chemical laboratory Back Start page Next Lessons about water

23. Chemical laboratory. Crystals growth. • Step 4: Put the glass with saturated solution and the crystal inside to the place without draught, vibration and a lot of light (crystal growth requires all these conditions to be followed). Put the white paper on the top of the glass in order not to let dust and rubbish get into the solution. Leave the solution for some days. • It is important! • The crystal shouldn’t be taken away from the solution without special reason. • Do not let the rubbish get into the saturated solution. • Choose or refresh the saturated solution once a week.

24. Chemical laboratory. Meaning of turgor in plants life. Material s: paper, felt-tip pen, ruler, scissors, big plate. Step 1: Draw a flower on a paper in the following manner: Draw a circle with 15 centimeters in diameter . Draw 4 straight lines through the circle center in the way these lines divide the circle into 8 parts. Use these straight lines to draw the petals. Cut out the flower.

25. Chemical laboratory. Meaning of turgor in plants life. Step 2:Bend the petals to direct their bottoms to the center. If you do it correct the petals overlap each other. Pour water into the plate. Put the flower with its petals on the top into water. Chemical laboratory Back Start page Next Lessons about water

26. Chemical laboratory. Meaning of turgor in plants life. Step 3: The petals come up and the flower opens and swims on water surface. Chemical laboratory Back Start page Lesson Lessons about water

27. Chemical laboratory. Chromatography. Equipment:glass with water, a piece of filter paper (10 см х 2 см), felt-tip pen. Draw a line with felt-tip pen in 2 centimeters from the end of the piece ( draw it parallel to the less side). Put the piece of paper into water and leave the drawn line under the water surface. Notice the way paper becomes wet, water comes up in its structure, touches the drawn line and takes the color up. And then you can see the line runs and appears to be multicolor. This experiment lets to determine that the felt-tip pen’s color includes several colors in it. Task: Can you determine the real color of black felt-tip pen?
