General Interest
General Chemistry Laboratory--Scientific Inquiry: 157 New Experiments in One Semester
Suzanne L. Black
McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada H3A 2K6
Cover
August 1996
Vol. 73 No. 8
p. 776
Abstract
700 General Chemistry students were allowed to choose and run their own experiment. They went to the library to select an experiment from the literature, then they modified the experiment and performed it in the laboratory. Given the appropriate guidelines, the students were able to experience chemical research and thus get an idea of what science is really all about. The success of this laboratory is discussed from both the students' and staff's perspectives.
Supplement
Copies of Scientific Inquiry as presented to the students are available.
