In Class Activity: Poison Analysis

For this activity, different stations were set up that contained a variety of possible poisons. At each station, there were three different samples of potential poisons that we (our group) had to identify by using various methods such as pH testing and reagent testing. Ammonia, aspirin, cyanide, iodine, and metal poison are some of the various poisons that we were able to identify in the lab.  We were also able to use the methods learned in our lab in the crime scene activity done in a later class.
