| The Teacher Edition Lab
Manual provides the same content as the Student Lab Manual but with teacher notes included
in the margins of each page, directly adjacent to the paragraph to which the note applies.
The Teacher Edition also provides answers to questions asked in each lab exercise, plus
explanations to give students a better understanding of why the answer makes sense. This curriculum requires lab assignments because
chemistry is a laboratory course. Labs are described in the laboratory manual, which is
separate from the student text. The suggested teaching schedule designates one class
period per chapter as a lab day, although some chapters have more than one lab day.
Chemistry is an experimental science based
on observation. While performing experiments from this lab manual, students will make
qualitative observations and quantitative observations. Qualitative observations use words
to describe things while quantitative observations use numbers to describe specific
amounts. These observations lead to inquiry and problem solving. Each experiment in this
manual includes one or more of the following tasks involved in problem solving:
- planning and designing - formulating questions
- performance - manipulating materials
- analysis and interpretation - processing data
and explaining relationships
- application - formulating a hypothesis based
on results
