• Resumen

  • The possibility of conducting laboratory experiments at home without using commercially available kits, which might also be overly expensive, seems to be a suitable approach for a distance chemistry laboratory. Thus, several hands-on experiments with household supplies have been developed aiming at fostering students’ laboratory competencies, as in a face-to-face chemistry laboratory course. This paper presents a scoping review mapping this type of experiments and identifying their characteristics to guide chemistry educators in using them with a more effective manner. The review includes the publications that have appeared as full-length articles in scientific journals during the period 1992–2021.
