This document contains experiments from the "low cost" science teaching movement, simplified versions of classical chemistry experiments, experiments using locally available substances and kitchen chemicals, and environmental chemistry. Some experiments anticipate experiments usually done in senior chemistry classes, e.g.. Titration with an eyedropper. The experiments are "teacher friendly" - there is no overwhelming technology. Enough theoretical background is included to remind teachers of the theoretical context of the experiment. Every experiment is based on materials listed in a modern commercial catalogue of chemicals and equipment.

All ChemCom teachers are invited to upload and download information, relating to the standard eight ChemCom topics, that they believe is useful in the day to day teaching of this course.
