Calcium hydroxide, commonly known as lime, is a white, crystalline powder with the chemical formula Ca(OH)₂. It is produced by adding water to calcium oxide (quicklime), a process known as slaking. Calcium hydroxide has numerous applications across various industries. In agriculture, it is utilized to amend soil pH, providing a source of calcium for plants. In construction, it is a key component in the preparation of mortar and plaster. Known for its antimicrobial properties, calcium hydroxide is used in the food industry for pickling and to preserve certain fruits. Additionally, it plays a role in water and wastewater treatment, helping to neutralize acidity and remove impurities. The compound’s versatility, spanning agriculture, construction, food, and environmental applications, underscores its importance in diverse sectors.
For many learners high school is not enough to prepare them for what they are to face at first year university. They find themselves completely overwhelmed and intimidated by what is expected of them to be able to do in a laboratory.
Unfortunately many learners who want to pursue science subjects go through this dilemma, few as they are because fact is SA is not producing enough learners who will become engineers, doctors, science researchers, let alone science innovators.
To address this, we developed a chemistry kits with 52 experiments for use by learners at home. This gives them an opportunity to gain hand-on exposure and engagement, confidence and understanding they need to study sciences further.
The kit comes with a manual explaining how science is experienced in daily life and therefore brings awareness of the application and usefulness of science, helping the learner relate to what they learn at school.
Some schools do have kits where only the teacher demonstrates the experiments and this is great, but you don’t master driving by watching the driving instructor, you must get in the driver’s seat yourself.
