Exploring General, Organic, & Biochemistry in the Laboratory

This full-color, comprehensive, affordable manual is appropriate for two-semester introductory chemistry courses. It is loaded with clearly written exercises, critical thinking questions, and full-color illustrations and photographs, providing ample visual support for experiment set up, technique, and results.

Features include: the initiation of the study of basic concepts in the general, organic, and biochemistry laboratory through concise introductory material and pre-lab questions that familiarize students with the concepts presented in each exercise; the investigation of the mysteries of matter by following the clearly written procedures and recording data and observations on the provided data sheets (safety notes, OSHA pictograms, and Technique Tip boxes help students develop skills in laboratory technique while safely working through procedures); and the integration of knowledge of each laboratory topic by making sense of the data students have collected through critical thinking questions that assist students in making connections between what they have learned in lab and how this knowledge can be applied to their studies.
