Even quantitative MCE can
be performed on the levels of primary and secondary schools. In spite of
the small quantities and apparaturus reasonable results can be observed
Substances
of the daily life
are prefered for didactic, economic and ecological reasons.
Injection bottles
and infusion bottles are materials replacing
bunsen burners and classical laboratory glassware. Syringes with
blunted hypodermic needles are suitable burettes and measuring
pipettes. Even measuring cylinders or a Hofmann apparus can be built from
syringes.
Cola cans are used for many purposes (as electrods,
source of Fe and Al, explosion experiment, implosions
experiment).
Beads are
models to visualize smallest particles, structure of matter and its changes.
An Egyptian two-pan
scale with self-made weights is a measuring instrument
of highest didactic value and sufficient certainty.
