What is potash? How do we feed a growing population?🌱 Unbox a treasure trove of materials within the potash kit, sparking curiosity and exploration in your classroom. 🔍Investigate the mystery of potash using clues covering the 5 W’s: who, what, where, when, and why. Then, experiment with mixtures and solutions as a chemist. 🧪 Through hands-on labs, explore mixtures, dissolution, solubility, and precipitation. Mimic the process of turning potash into potassium-rich fertilizers for plant growth and agricultural sustainability. Complete a PD workshop and order a curriculum-related FREE potash kit through the Saskatchewan Mining Association’s Minerals Connected program.
