Zinc powder is a fine, grayish-white metal powder consisting of finely ground zinc particles. It’s commonly used in various industrial and chemical applications due to its high reactivity and unique properties. In metallurgy, zinc powder is used for galvanizing, which involves coating iron or steel to prevent rusting. It’s also a key component in the production of batteries, particularly in the zinc-carbon and alkaline batteries. In the chemical industry, zinc powder is used as a reducing agent in the manufacture of other chemicals and as a catalyst in various reactions. Additionally, it’s employed in the creation of paints and coatings, providing corrosion resistance. Zinc powder’s reactive nature requires careful handling, as it can pose fire and explosion hazards when exposed to heat or flames.

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.
