I have some equipment on order from Better Equipped for myself to help support the STEM group, this is mostly some 100ml glass regent bottles to properly store various solutions.

Also sent off for another test tube brush and a flask brush for use at the library.

I am also putting together some kit to create a very simple distillation rig, which is mostly a 2L plastic bottle, a measuring cylinder, and a bag of ice, so that this helps to condense water in to the cylinder. This is very basic but should do the trick. At least according to the manual I got with a chemistry set bought for £2.50 from a charity shop.

If this works, then I can replicate the same set up, perhaps in schools to help children understand this process and discuss why it is important.
