NANSLO Survey of Chemistry Lab Mnual including 10 NANSLO Lab Activities

Abstract

This NANSLO lab manual is self-contained and can be used by instructors as the Lab Manual for students in their Survey of Chemistry Course. The manual includes overview information about the North American Network of Science Labs Online (NANSLO), information on the equipment used in the ten lab activities included in the manual, and a table of contents. The Background Information for Instructors section provides information on how to use this manual, schedule blocks of times for students to complete these 10 NANSLO lab activities and other useful information and tips, and an instructor checklist. The Instruction for Students section provides information on how to prepare for each lab, technical requirements, how to schedule appointments for the assigned labs, and a student checklist. The Survey of Chemistry Lab Activities section includes an introduction on how the labs connect to the objectives of a Survey of Chemistry class and brief descriptions of each of the ten lab activities. These activities are: (1) Measurement; (2) Density; (3) Emission Spectrum; (4) Endothermic/Exothermic Reactions; (5) Beer-Lambert Law; (6) Enzyme Kinetics; (7) Radiation; (8) Reaction Rates; (9) Acid/Base Titration; and (10) Membrane Diffusion.
