This document outlines the goals, mechanics, and procedures for a chemistry laboratory activity called "Liquid Transfer" for lower level science students. The activity involves students being split into groups and taking turns transferring a liquid from one laboratory vessel to another according to instructions, with the goals of developing leadership skills, problem solving, and identifying laboratory equipment and substances. Students are scored based on speed, accuracy of measurements, and proper transfer techniques. The leader must identify whether the unknown liquid is an acid or base, then the group works together to transfer it according to the ordered list of vessels provided by the co-leader.

SY 2019-2020 Chemistry Lower Science “Liquid Transfer” 1. Goals and Objectives: 1.1. Goals: 1.1.1. To find fun in science and math Improve leadership (A) 1.1.2. Apply problem-solving skills in Maths and Sciences(C) 1.2. Objectives 1.2.1. Be able to identify laboratory wares (C) 1.2.2. Be able to read liquid measurements properly(P) 1.2.3. Be able to communicate properly between members of the group (A) 1.2.4. Be able to identify acids, bases, and neutral substances using litmus paper(C) 1.2.5. Be able to transfer liquid from one container to another using proper technique(P) 2. Mechanics 2.1. Leader 2.1.1. The leader has to be the shortest and the youngest. 2.1.2. The leader shouldn’t have been a leader in any other games. 2.1.3. A co-leader may help, in arranging group mates for the transfer. 2.2. Points 2.2.1. fastest time 2.2.1.1. 10 points for the fastest 2.2.1.2. 9 for the second etc. 2.2.2. accuracy (10points) 2.2.2.1. This only applies to the final measurement. 2.2.2.2. (10) lower meniscus is in the specified level 2.2.2.3. (8) upper meniscus is in the specified level 2.2.2.4. (6) reaches the destination but wrong measurement either too much or too little. 2.2.2.5. (0) nothing reaches the final container 2.2.3.transfer mechanics 2.2.3.1. Demerit system to the final score per error (Refer to section 2.3.5.1) 2.2.3.2. 1 point per error 2.3. Game Flow 2.3.1. The entire team should be able to transfer the assigned liquid to them. 2.3.2. The leader will be given PAPER 1(a description of either acid or base, i.e. they are usually slippery and has high pH) 2.3.3. The leader will have to identify the liquid whether it is an acid or base using litmus paper. 2.3.4. They have to transfer from the leader to last member a certain amount of liquid. They will pass thru different series of glasswares which they will identify they will base it on PAPER 2 (given to the co-lead, which gives them assigned glasswares in order ie: test tube to Florence to beaker to etc..) 2.3.5. They should transfer using proper techniques. 2.3.5.1. When transferring liquids with volumes greater than 5mL, they can be poured directly into vessels. 2.3.5.2.Graduated cylinders and beakers have an indentation in their mouth, so they can be poured controllably as long as the two pieces of glass touch one another 2.3.5.3.f pouring from an Erlenmeyer flask, or transferring a liquid into a vessel containing a narrow mouth (e.g. a round bottomed flask), a funnel should be used. 2.3.5.4.Funnels can be securely held with a ring clamp (Figure 1.17b), or held with one hand while pouring with the other 2.3.6. The last member measures the exact amount. 2.3.7. The post master checks

* The star represents the leader. Diamond represents co-lead.
1. Leader reads paper 1 (simultaneously co-lead reads paper two and and will give the group mates the glasswares in order) Time starts. 2. After the leader has identified the substance, he gives it to the first member. 3. The first member identifies the glassware assigned to him or her. 4. Then They will follow the flow, they will be using the materials assigned to them. 5. In the last station, the co-lead will identify the pH using pH paper. 6. After the answer, that is when the timer stops.
