Description

Objective:

The course objective is for learners to apply the scientific method, explore phenomena, and exercise critical thinking skills using virtual lab simulations from Labster. This lab course reinforces topics from the Introduction to Chemistry lecture course, such as the periodic table, atomic structures, chemical reactions, and acid-base reactions. To meet the lab requirement, students write lab reports and answer formative quiz questions.

It is recommended that students complete this Introduction to Chemistry Lab course simultaneously with the Introduction to Chemistry lecture course (SOPH-0056).

Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand chemical investigation, laboratory reporting, and the scientific method.
  • Demonstrate laboratory safety, measurements, and knowledge of the structure and properties of matter.
  • Determine the foundation of chemistry as it relates to the intermolecular forces, organization, and behavior of matter.
  • Apply the properties and molecular definitions of acids and bases through titration techniques to analyze and neutralize acidic solutions.
  • Explain and quantify the reactions and energy associated with matter.
