Stay at Home Laboratories for Chemistry Courses

Experiments written for students who were quarantined during the COVID-19 pandemic are described. These were developed to provide hands-on lab experiences that students would not get due to the online nature of course offerings during the crisis. The laboratories described include an extraction and oxidation of aldehydes from food items, a study of diffusion of food dyes in solutions of different pH, and an experiment to determine the optimum temperature of invertase hydrolysis of sucrose.
