Chemistry+1+Labs

Chemistry labs are an important part of the chemistry class. Hands-on labs allow for the exploration of science in a safe classroom environment. We will be doing several labs this year and links to these labs will be added as we progress through the year. Some lab reports will be written individually and some will be written together by lab partners. All lab reports are required to have the same format; links to those expectations are also provided below.
 * **//Labs//** -25% of grade – Please see lab report rubric for expectations. Flow chart preparation may be a required pre-lab activity and may be a significant portion of the lab grade. Late labs will be accepted with penalty up until the labs are graded and returned to the class. Labs that are not turned in prior to the others being returned cannot and will not be accepted.
