• Resumen

  • Activities that may be performed in various settings, including public spaces, classrooms, and laboratories, are necessary for teachers and informal educators. Microscale activities might be the answer to their issues with ease. General Chemistry covers reactions in aqueous solutions such as precipitations, neutralizations, evolution of gas, and redox reactions. These activities enable students to comprehend the concepts discussed in class and use fewer reactants, making the activities more environmentally friendly by following green chemistry principles. In this activity, which we have named “On-the-Go Lab”, we will work with four reactions on a microscale to observe precipitation, gas-forming, neutralization, and redox reactions. On-the-go Lab provides a secure, affordable, convenient, enjoyable, and innovative alternative that supports students’ learning while also protecting the environment.
