The book Chemistry on a Budget contains chemistry labs that are useful with inexpensive, easy to obtain materials.
During the summer vacation, buying a copy of the lab book Chemistry on a Budget can be very useful. You can examine the labs and decide what you want to use next year.
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!

“It’s taken six years of planning, but on June 5 [2018] US-based French swimmer Benoit Lecomte finally set off from Japan on his world-first quest to swim across the Pacific Ocean… Ben is swimming from Tokyo to San Francisco, which is 5,500 miles. To achieve this seemingly impossible feat, he’ll swim for eight hours a day for more than six months through the White Shark Migration Area and jellyfish-infested waters, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, storms and very, very cold seas.”

“Ben’s not just doing it for the adventure though – this is a science expedition as well. He’s hoping to raise as much awareness as possible for climate change, and under the direction of researchers from 12 scientific institutions including NASA and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution the crew will carry out oceanic and medical research every stroke of the way. They’ll study concentrations of plastic debris and pollution as well as the effects such extreme exercise has on the heart.”
“Lecomte and his crew will closely monitor the changing conditions, and he’ll wear a thick wet suit to help him navigate waters that could reach 50 degrees. In addition, they’ll utilize both magnetic and electric fields to ward off sharks. … The entire swim will be documented by Seeker.com, with streaming video from the boat, a multipart video series and a steady flow of social posts and dispatches, plus regular television updates on Discovery and a full-length documentary at some point next year.”

“Under the direction of researchers from 12 scientific institutions including NASA and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the crew will perform oceanic and medical research throughout the journey, marking the first time such scientific work will be conducted by the general public.”
The website http://thelongestswim.com/ may be useful as it reports daily of Ben LeComte’s progress.
“He is hoping to raise awareness for climate change, and a team of scientists will conduct research during the 5,500 mile (9,000 km) swim. They will study plastic debris, the effect of extreme exercise on the heart and examine how the Fukushima nuclear disaster has affected the ocean.”

“The currents he will be using to boost his speed during the swim are part of the greater North Pacific Ocean gyre (commonly known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch) — a huge clockwise-rotating body of water, now infamous for its high concentration of plastic.
The latest research estimates there is about 78,000 tonnes of plastic in the gyre spread across an area the size of Queensland.
Alarmingly, researchers believe the amount of plastic in the gyre is 'growing exponentially' due to expanding coastal development and residence and our increasing consumption of single-use plastics.”
