Philosophy:

It is the opinion of the RSCC chemistry staff that the laboratories and the classroom material be highly coordinated.  The laboratories should reflect the most important concepts presented and should correspond to the competency items listed for the course.  This listing gives this correspondence.

The staff also believes it is very important for the student to have some experience in determining how to carry out experiments and in writing up their results.  For more information see  the 6th edition of the General Chemistry Laboratory Manual link.



* laboratory 1 is for safety and to make it possible for the student to function in the specific laboratory assigned.
