Over the summer my 8th grade science classroom was updated with the addition of Bunsen burner gas valves for the students to use during chemistry labs. With my current classroom budget I have been able to purchase half a set of Bunsen burners, but am still missing other critical supplies to be able to run the burners. Included in my list are 6 Bunsen burners to complete the set of 12, which will give the ability to have 2-3 students per burner. Also included are the burner tubes required to attach the burner to gas and a half set of burner strikers to light the burners.
This project will allow my students to participate in a multitude of new chemistry labs involving chemical reactions and the use of Bunsen burners. Currently my students only form of fire are disposable Sterno burners, which lack real heat for chemistry labs. The Bunsen burners will give students the possibility of participating in a larger selection of in-class labs.
