Sodium carbonate, also known as soda ash or washing soda, is a versatile compound with numerous industrial and household applications. In the manufacturing sector, it is a key ingredient in the production of glass, where it acts as a flux to lower the melting point of silica, facilitating the formation of glass products. Additionally, sodium carbonate is used in the production of various chemicals, including detergents, paper, and textiles. In the realm of water treatment, it serves as a pH regulator and a water softener, effectively removing calcium and magnesium ions that cause water hardness. Furthermore, sodium carbonate finds application in household cleaning products, where its alkaline properties make it effective in removing grease and stains. Its wide-ranging uses highlight sodium carbonate’s importance in modern industry and everyday life.

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.
