Laboratory assignments are very important to the development of the understanding of chemistry. Developing laboratories for home school situations are challenging for a variety of reasons. These include: supplies, teaching of good laboratory of practices and incorporating safety into the learning environment. Green chemistry techniques are very beneficial to the development of the laboratory topics that can be done. This paper will cover a number of experiments as well as incorporation of safety and laboratory practices for home school instruction.
