Getting Steamed Up for Chemistry

Help me give my students electric kettles to boil water quickly in chemistry lab

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lytle's classroom raised $391

My Students

My students are talented and motivated artists who work hard to combine their love of the arts with their academic studies. We are an arts school in NYC where students from diverse backgrounds are united in their dedication to artistic and academic excellence. Approximately three fourths of my students are female.

Through hands-on engaging learning activities all our students explore the world around them.

In my chemistry class my artistic students will see the science that shapes the world around us. Understanding the science of climate change, disease, and human health will empower my students to positively shape the world around them. Science, technology, and policy shape the future. Gaining scientific knowledge will give power to my students' voices as they make choices that will impact our futures.

This year all my students will be learning chemistry remotely. While in separate locations we will unite together to collaborate, inspire and grow together.

My Project

Just like cooking pasta, many chemistry experiments start with boiling water. Chemistry is a fun and exciting hands on lab experience but waiting for water to boil and be a drag.

Having a speedy way to boil water will allow my students to do less waiting and more exploring in the chemistry lab.

Boiling water is used in experiments to calculate the specific heat capacity of substances, to learn why the pot of the stove feel hot before the water in the pot even though the same heat is added. Boiling water is an easy way to heat up air to explore the gas law and learn more about they physical world around us.
