The idea of microscale chemistry experimentation
using vials, dropper bottles and syringes goes back to Dr. M. K. El-Marsafy:
Thirty years ago he introduced these worldwide available materials
for pre-service teacher training and education at Ain Shams
University Cairo. Thousands of young Egyptian students learned how
to teach chemistry starting by practical work.
Advantages
of Microscale Chemistry Experimentation:
1.
less chemicals, 2. less waste, 3. less space, 4. more safety, 5. less costs, 6. materials easy to find, 7. working
at home, 8. own
portable low-cost lab for school preparation.
