The book Chemistry on a Budget contains inexpensive chemistry labs that are useful with easy to obtain materials.
There are two versions of each lab, one with a ten-question conclusion and one with directions for a full lab report. This way the teacher has the option! Each lab is two pages to allow for one two-sided handout.
A 5-Star Customer Review of Chemistry on a Budget at amazon.com states:
“[S]traight forward, to the point, using household chemicals… this is the lab book for you.
I teach high school chemistry and this is exactly what I was looking for. Labs included simple household chemicals that could be easily found. Nice format, easy to follow along procedures, and touches on every topic of our chemistry curriculum.”
You can buy this lab book for $23 at amazon.com or lulu.com. It will take 1-2 weeks to get to you -- Order Now. It’s a great resource!

“Three decades after the Chernobyl disaster—the world’s worst nuclear accident—signs of life are returning to the exclusion zone.
Wild animals in Chernobyl are flourishing within the contaminated region; puppies roaming the area are capturing the hearts of thousands.
Tourists who have watched the critically acclaimed HBO series Chernobyl are taking selfies with the ruins. Once thought to be forever uninhabitable, the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone has become a haven for flora and fauna that prove that life, as they say in Jurassic Park, finds a way."
Here is a brief summary of the observations:
1. The animals of Chernobyl survived against all odds.
2. Bears and wolves outnumber humans around the Chernobyl disaster site.
3. Most Chernobyl animals don’t look any different from their non-Chernobyl counterparts.
4. Radiation may have killed off Chernobyl’s insects.
5. Despite looking normal, Chernobyl's animals and plants are mutants.
6. The absence of humans is returning Chernobyl to wilderness.
7. An endangered wild horse is making a comeback thanks to Chernobyl.
8. You can adopt a Chernobyl puppy.
