Course Description
This hands-on laboratory course reinforces the theoretical concepts of General Chemistry III by providing students with a practical, experience-based understanding of scientific inquiry. Students learn to pose meaningful questions and formulate testable hypotheses through a series of experiments. The curriculum focuses on developing essential laboratory skills, including data analysis, proper technique, and the use of scientific tools. Students work collaboratively to design and conduct investigations, gathering relevant data to test and revise their hypotheses. A key component of the course is the development of scientific writing skills through the preparation of formal laboratory reports. The goal is to equip students with the ability to communicate scientific procedures, results, and evidence-based arguments clearly and effectively.
