For our actual online class, we have been using a company called Hands-On-Labs which sends out a pretty good kit, and has some online training components that seem pretty good.

We also discussed for our General Chemistry class - we do some mass/mole and some other reaction prediction laboratories that can be relatively easily modified to do using materials that can be found in the kitchen or easily obtained in stores (like Epsom Salt and washing soda).

There are some very good interactives, where the students have to actually take readings using some online tools - such as trying to do a titration from places like PIVOT Interactives.

Hi all,

Many institutions, including Stanford University, are conducting all classes online for the foreseeable future. We're quickly seeing a spike in questions around sending chemicals, adhesives, etc.. to students' homes to facilitate distance teaching lab classes. This presents a lot of thorny issues around safety, hazardous materials shipping, hazardous waste, safety culture, and equitable learning (i.e., some materials may only be available or able to be shipped domestically, leaving international students out).

How have other institutions tackled this? Are you completely banning it, providing a list of acceptable chemicals/work practices, reviewing each experiment, or totally out of the conversation?

Thank you all!

Jennifer
