LABORATORY/EXPERIMENTS

The following is a schedule of the lab work. You will complete all lab work in your lab manual or the .pdf "Safety Scale Laboratory" or custom lab 1115 manual then submit it online in ChemWeb for grading.
The due dates are listed in ChemWeb.

We recently got permission from the publisher to offer the lab manual as part of this online class, so purchasing a print copy of the book is now optional. To access the book materials in .pdf, login to your ChemWeb account and click on the lab you are working on. At the top of that lab are two files. One is the .pdf of the lab from the book and the other are the lab files as explained below.

To start the lab, open your lab book (or .pdf) to the first assigned lab experiment (listed below). Read the entire lab and complete all the worksheets. Once you're done, you login to your ChemWeb account and type your answers in there for grading. There are YouTube videos and tips/hints below for the labs that may help if you get stuck. Refer to these before emailing to save you time in completing labs. Labs are due approximately each week.

Lab # 1 does not require any equipment or lab files. It is completed completely in the lab book only.
For lab #2 and subsequent, you will use lab files rather than equipment. YOU DO NOT NEED ANY LAB EQUIPMENT. Below are Lab instructions for accessing the lab files in ChemWeb as well as how to use them.

If you have a use lab manual that is written in, a good idea is to login to ChemWeb, click on the lab experiment and print the input screen. That will give you a copy of the worksheets that will be blank for you to work from. Also, under lab #1 below is a link to a printable rulers page 5/6 if your used copy is missing that page.

Labs are graded by assistants, so instantaneous feedback is not possible. Labs will be graded within one week from the last accept date.

Review me first:
Instructions will explain how to do the labs since you won't be in a laboratory.

Before beginning labs, please read the instructions (above) on how to complete the lab work. The instructions will explain how you will do the lab work without having an actual laboratory to complete the work. You will NOT need to purchase any lab equipment, scales, chemicals, etc. You will utilize lab photo files in ChemWeb to complete the work.
