Laboratory Equipment and Techniques

Now that you have learned about the important laboratory equipment and techniques used in chemistry scientific investigations, you will engage in a face to face, videoed, or web-conference “check for understanding” with your instructor. This conversation will serve as your Application for this topic. During this check for understanding, you will need to exhibit to your instructor that you know the parts of a gas burner, as well as the proper procedure for lighting it. Your instructor will expect you to provide detailed information about this part of the topic’s content, as well as a demonstration. In order to be prepared for this activity, you should make sure that you have:

1. Read or viewed the material that has been covered in the topic
2. Taken notes on any assigned content; and
3. Reviewed your notes and instructor feedback from previous assignments.

Your instructor may provide you with more details about this assignment. Please contact your instructor to set up a time to talk to him/her face to face or via phone or web conference.
