Produktbeschreibung

This laboratory manual engages students in the process by which chemists investigate the world—the process of inquiry. Written to accompany General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, Second Edition by Frost & Deal, it can also accompany the lab portion of any one-semester GOB chemistry course. The majority of the experiments include a link to the health sciences, and illustrate concepts from more than one chapter of the text, utilizing basics from the areas of general, organic, or biological chemistry to develop concepts in one or more of the other areas. Using this integrated approach, students develop the skills to help them understand chemistry and to see its applications in their everyday lives.

Product Description
Laboratory Manual for General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry can accompany the lab portion of any one-semester GOB chemistry course. Most experiments include a link to the health sciences, such as nursing and nutrition, while concepts are framed in real-world questions and are broadly applicable. Many of the experiments illustrate concepts from more than one chapter of the text and often utilize basics from the areas of general, organic, or biological chemistry to develop concepts in one or more of the other areas. This integrated strategy helps students to understand that chemistry is not a disparate set of unrelated concepts. Using this integrated approach, students develop the skills to help them understand chemistry and to see its applications in their everyday lives.

Features + Benefits

Safety is emphasized throughout.
The first experiment helps students understand all safety precautions, especially those relevant to their laboratory. Students should complete this experiment before beginning any of the others.

Students are encouraged to read the day’s experiment and take note of any safety precautions prior to each experiment.

Consistent experiment format:

Learning Goals begin each lab to guide students into the concepts of the experiment.
