Steam and Superheated Steam Water is boiled and the steam is collected and run through a coil of copper tubing. When a gas burner heats the steam coil strongly, the steam becomes superheated and is at a high enough temperature to ignite a match and react quickly with steel wool.
Scientific–Chemical Viewpoints Regarding Smoking: A Science Laboratory for AllRon Blonder This article describes a lab that examines the acidity of cigarette smoke as well as solid particles and vapor phase substances found therein, and simulates the effects of smoking on the lungs. The aim of this activity is to expose adolescents to the scientific aspects of smoking and the relevance of chemistry in everyday life. Blonder, Ron. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 248.

Gas Clathrate Hydrates Experiment for High School Projects and Undergraduate LaboratoriesMelissa P. Prado, Annie Pham, Robert E. Ferazzi, Kimberly Edwards, and Kenneth C. Janda Presents a procedure for preparing and studying propane clathrate hydrate. This experiment introduces students to this unusual solid while stimulating a discussion of the interplay of intermolecular forces, thermodynamics, and solid structure. Prado, Melissa P.; Pham, Annie; Ferazzi, Robert E.; Edwards, Kimberly; Janda, Kenneth C. J. Chem. Educ.2007, 84, 1790.

Geographical Information Systems (GIS) Mapping of Environmental Samples across College CampusesKathleen L. Purvis-Roberts, Harriet P. Moeur, and Andrew Zanella In this laboratory experiment, students take environmental samples (concentrations of nitrogen dioxide) and geospatial coordinates with a global position systems unit at various locations around campus, map their data on a geo-referenced map with geographical information systems software, and compare their results to those observed by governmental agencies.
