They have a Chemistry Series with labs that seem like they would be suitable for lower level classes. I have not used the Chemistry kits personally, but it seems like a better route than attempting to prepare something from scratch. At least if they cover the needs of the class in question.
It might be something to look into at least.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Distance Undergraduate Lab Classes
Hi all,
Many institutions, including Stanford University, are conducting all classes online for the foreseeable future. We're quickly seeing a spike in questions around sending chemicals, adhesives, etc.. to students' homes to facilitate distance teaching lab classes. This presents a lot of thorny issues around safety, hazardous materials shipping, hazardous waste, safety culture, and equitable learning (i.e., some materials may only be available or able to be shipped domestically, leaving international students out).
How have other institutions tackled this? Are you completely banning it, providing a list of acceptable chemicals/work practices, reviewing each experiment, or totally out of the conversation?
Thank you all!
Jennifer
