Basic laboratory experiments supporting theoretical principles presented in CHEM 1309; introduction of the scientific method, experimental design, chemical instrumentation, data collection and analysis, and preparation of laboratory reports.
Upon successful completion of this course, students will:
- Use basic apparatus and apply experimental methodologies used in the chemistry laboratory.
- Demonstrate safe and proper handling of laboratory equipment and chemicals.
- Conduct basic laboratory experiments with proper laboratory techniques.
- Make careful and accurate experimental observations.
- Relate physical observations and measurements to theoretical principles.
- Interpret laboratory results and experimental data, and reach logical conclusions.
- Record experimental work completely and accurately in laboratory notebooks and communicate experimental results clearly in written reports.
- Design fundamental experiments involving principles of chemistry and chemical instrumentation.
- Identify appropriate sources of information for conducting laboratory experiments involving principles of chemistry.
