About General Chemistry I Laboratory
Lessons contain learning objectives, a to-do list, a brief instructor video, and an experiment. Throughout the course, students will develop basic laboratory skills and record keeping. Students will:
- Adhere to instructions with respect to laboratory safety and to recognize hazardous situations and act appropriately.
- Recognize standard laboratory glassware and analytical equipment.
- Correctly carry out common laboratory procedures.
- Measure and report quantities with appropriate precision.
- Convert raw data to a physically meaningful form.
- Properly maintain a laboratory notebook with enough detail that others could repeat any of their experiments.
To be successful in this course, students must effectively prepare in advance for laboratory work. Throughout the course students plan and collect data to answer a scientific question, then analyze data to identify relationships and to effectively report the data. Students will make a claim and support that claim with evidence from the collected data, and recognize whether results and conclusions "make sense".
This course has 7 experiments and an open book final exam. You may complete no more than one experiment per week, finishing the course in as little as 8 weeks or taking up to 9 months. In addition to the 8 weeks, please allow 7-10 business days to process registration, 1 week for ordering and delivering the lab kit, and 3-5 days for the final grade to appear on your transcript.
