• Resumen

  • This article presents the use of microscaled chemistry experiments for individual home study and how it can be incorporated into a course with traditional laboratory work. A portable home kit containing four experiments that can be carried out unsupervised by a distance education student in first-year university chemistry is described. Experiments include the physical chemistry of solutions, reactions and identification of aqueous cations, calorimetry, and quantitative determination of phosphorus. The results of a student survey of this home-study microlab kit are also presented and discussed.
