ANALYSIS OF DRUGS & POISONS

Students are introduced to qualitative analysis in the intriguing context of
criminal investigation. Chemical analytical techniques are used to identify
over-the-counter drugs, test for controlled substances using simulated drugs,
simulate presumptive drug testing, and detect evidence of heavy metal
poisoning through the analysis of amino acids in urine. Includes materials for
six groups (24 students) and an instructors manual with reproducible student
instructions, data sheets, and complete answer keys. Meets national standards
for grade level 9-12. Required but not included: UV light, microscope, oven,
lamp, or hot plate, scale, glassware and lab supplies.
