  • A laboratory practicum incorporating a series of quantitative experiments is an essential component of any high school or college chemistry course. It is one thing to read about precipitations; it is another thing to see the precipitates form with your own eyes. Lab experience also provides students with practice using standard laboratory apparatus and methods. Finally, there is nothing like laboratory practice to give students a feel for how the stoichiometric calculations learned in the classroom relate to the predictions and results of an actual experiment

    This manual is the student’s guide to accompany General Chemistry and Chemistry for Accelerated Students. Included are instructions for 20 experiments, materials lists, safety issues, discussion questions and more. Pages are perforated for easy removal of the Short Form Report Sheet which is to be filled out and turned in after each experiment.

    The experiments in this manual are designed for schools with standard laboratory facilities and equipment. If your school or home does not yet have such facilities, we suggest you take a look at our other experiments book, Chemistry Experiments for High School at Home (CEHSH). The experiments in CEHSH are rigorously quantitative, just as they are in CEHS.

    For chemistry, or any high school science experiment, we recommend The Student Lab Report Handbook as a companion guide to show students how to prepare excellent lab reports.

    John D. Mays
    After receiving his BS in Electrical Engineering from Texas A&M University, John D. Mays worked for 14 years as an electrical engineering and engineering manager in the areas of electrical, control, and telecommunications systems. Drawn toward the field of education, John acquired an MEd in Secondary Education from the University of Houston in 1989, and subsequently completed 36 hours of graduate study in Physics at Texas A&M. Shortly after joining the faculty at Regents School of Austin in 1999, John began work on an MLA at St. Edward's University, which he completed in 2003. John served as Math-Science Department Chair at Regents School for nine years and as Director of the Laser Optics Lab for 10 years. He founded Novare Science & Math in 2009 and is the author of numerous science texts and teacher resources. He now works full time as Director of Science Curriculum for Classical Academic Press.
