(~$15) First Aide Kit and surgical gloves available at any drugstore (~$10) Other supplies required as indicated for each experiment. (~$10) Recommended by not required, Composition Notebook Start on page 5 if you elect to use.

Student Learning Outcomes: 1. Students will be able to demonstrate knowledge of proper laboratory safety procedures. 2. Students will be able to demonstrate proper handling of chemical reagents and chemical wastes. 3. Students will be introduced to common laboratory equipment and its use. 4. Students will demonstrate basic data observation, collection and interpretation.

Course Description: The fundamental chemical behavior of matter as it applies toward the allied health field. Topics include chemical formulas, chemical equations, stoichiometry, solution chemistry, periodic properties of elements, gas laws, chemical bonding, molecular geometry, states of matter, chemical equilibrium, acid base chemistry, organic nomenclature and biochemical processes.

Co-requisite: You must be co-enrolled in Chemistry 100. You will be dropped if you do not meet these criteria.

Each experiment must be read in its entirety before beginning each experiment. Moreover, you should read from your textbook any information concerning the concepts covered in the experiment. Prepare your lab notebook by writing an intro and procedure section then answer the pre-lab questions and note the safety precautions before beginning each experiment. Laboratory work includes basic manipulations such as weighing on an electronic scale, liquid transfer with graduated cylinders and pipettes, assembly of chemical apparatus, heating, and working with chemical and solvents safety. For each lab assignment, collect data as described in the experimental procedure and tabulate your data and observation directly in your lab notebook. The lab procedure provides a datasheet that can assist you with the data you collect. Do not cut and paste this data sheet in your notebook however (see guidelines in notebook upkeep). Aside from the recorded observations and data, your notebook should also contain calculations and interpretations of the results. The information from your notebook should then be used to complete the lab report that is found online in Canvas Learn under the quiz assessment engine. You should also document the results of your experiment by taking digital photos at key points during the experiment. The procedural instructions of each experiment will let you know what and when to take the photos. You must send me the digital photos via Canvas Learn email. When this part is complete, summarize in your lab notebook the key points of the experiment and three concepts you learned in the experiment. All experiments performed in this class must be documented in your notebook. Plan your time accordingly because no late assignments will be accepted. Do not ask for an extension. Plagiarizing from others is strictly prohibited. Zero credit will be given to all parties involved in plagiarism or copying of assignment on lab report, homework, quizzes, and exams. You will also be reported to the Dean of Students and receive a failing grade in this course.

If you are in short supply of chemicals or you need to return chemicals or equipment to the chem. stockroom, contact the lab tech or the instructor. The chemistry lab techs are Tien’s Nguyen (619) 388-6317 Afshin Noour (619) 388-7438 Dam Le (619) 388-7437

Overview of Online Laboratory Course

In this online chemistry 100 Lab course, you are expected to attend three zoom meeting, see schedule for dates. One of the three zoom

meetings will be for the 1st) orientation information on chemical pickup. The second and third meetings will be announced later. These

meetings are important so that we can discuss safety, obtain chemicals and return spent chemicals. The midterm and final quizzes will be

online. Attendance to these meeting is mandatory. Your grade in this course is based on your ability to follow directions, complete experiments

and activities in a timely manner, demonstrate knowledge of the concepts by taking lab quizzes, documenting your work by completion the lab

worksheets.

Lab Assignments: Exercises/activities called "dry" labs are problem sets that will help you understand concepts covered in the lecture.

Experiments, however, are generally "wet" labs in which chemical handling and data analysis are required. A week before you are to proceed

before the experiment, verify that you have all the chemicals and equipment to complete the experiment. If you are missing any chemical,

contact your instructor or the lab tech so you can obtain the necessary chemicals or equipment. A day or two prior to performing the

experiments read the entire laboratory procedure for the experiment and prepare your lab notebook. The worksheet for each experiment or

exercise will need to be complete. If you do not submit a worksheet then you will not receive a score for that assignment. All work should be

your own original work. When proceeding with the experiment, follow the directions and write all your observations and the data as you

progress through the experiment in the worksheet. Do not worry about answering questions or calculating the results while performing the

experiment, you can do this once you have collected all the data. After the experiment, clean up your work and double check to make sure you

have collected all the data required to answer the questions. Sit down, think about the lab and proceed with the calculations and the post-lab

questions. When you have completed the write-up, open Canvas and upload your work. It is very important to complete assignments in timely

manner because scores will not be release until everyone have submitted the assignment and emailed their lab photos. If you do not submit the

assignment after a week, it will count as zero points.

Chemical and Supplies: You will need to go to Miramar College on to Pick up chemicals and the kits. Bring this kit with you when we meet for

orientation and the lab techs will fill the containers with the chemicals you will need to complete the lab. In addition, laboratory equipment

that you will need to perform the experiments in this course must be purchased from KLM-LabSupplies. You can advance purchase by calling .

To keep the cost of the equipment around ~$150, chemicals and digital scale will be issued on 6/17 or 6/19. See above, for time and date of

distribution. All lab manuals will be available online through Canvas. Picking up chemicals and returning spent chemicals is an important part of

your lab technique score. Not returning spent chemicals on the deadline indicated will result in you being penalize in your lab technique score.

In addition, if at the end of the semester you do not return the chemicals, the lab tech will report you to the administration office in which

your grades will not be release and you will not be able to access your transcript.

Submission to Canvas: I cannot stress again that when conducting experiments, all observations and data should be in the worksheet

(downloaded from Canvas). When uploading your work, the file should be legible. There is a 20% -100% deduction if it not legible. Laboratory

work includes basic manipulations such as weighing on an electronic scale, liquid transfer with burettes and pipettes, assembly of chemical

apparatus, heating, and working with chemical and solvents safety. Plagiarism of any part of the work in this class, is strictly prohibited. Zero

credit will be given to all parties involved in plagiarism or copying of assignment on lab journal entries, homework, quizzes, and exams.

Plagiarism may include copying of work, paragraph or sentence from another and passing it along as your own work.

Optional Notebook: Although not required, I would also recommend that you keep a lab notebook to document all your lab activities. The lab

notebook should be composition notebook that you can pick up at Walmart, Target, BigLots, or any office supply store (Staples). Do not use

pencil when making entries in your lab journal. Depending on the quality of your notebook, you will receive up, but no more than, 2% bonus for

each experiment. It is also a good idea to keep track of the activity exercises in your lab notebook. Since you can use your lab notebook for

the midterm and final it may pay dividend if you keep detailed notes of all work you do in this class in your lab notebook. The lab notebook

format and upkeep is detailed in another document in this course.

There are 9 laboratory assignments schedule for the semester of which 8 will be used to determine your score. Late experiment submission

will not be accepted under any circumstances. If you miss an assignment, then this is the assignment that is dropped. If you fail to complete

and submit more than three lab experiment assignments, you will fail this course !!!

PLEASE NOTE! Even if you stop attending class, but you remain on the course roster after the final drop date, your instructor is required to

assign a grade for your class performance. Therefore, if you want to be certain that you have been dropped from the course, it is your

responsibility to drop the class through the admissions office prior to the final drop date that is printed in the Miramar College class schedule.

Please review Miramar College academic integrity policy 3100-Student rights, Responsibilities and Administrative Due process at

http://hr.sdccd.net/hr/studtoc.htm

ATTENDANCE •It is the student’s responsibility to drop all classes in which he/she is no longer participating. •It is the instructor’s discretion to withdraw a student after the add/drop deadline due to excessive absences/participation. •Students who remain enrolled in a class beyond the published withdrawal deadline, as stated in the class schedule, will receive an evaluative letter grade in this class. Attendance is determined by the assignments you complete and your login in the Canvas website. Although attendance is not called, keep in mind that the quizzes and discussion boards are going to be scheduled on certain dates and times. In addition, there are three (3) mandatory meetings via Zoom must attend. See the course schedule now to make sure you have no conflicts. You must submit the lab worksheet by the deadline of the due date of the lab. You cannot turn in assignments after a week (depending on when submitted, you will there will be deductions). If a lab group exceeds more than three members, the grade for the lab will be divided equally among all members. Missing 3 experiments submission and/or 4 activity-exercise is grounds (excused or unexcused) for failure in this class. At best, you will be dropped from the course, at worst, you will be given a failing grade no matter what your average is to date. In keeping with the practice of Social Distancing, no two students can perform the experiment together. Interacting with each other to discuss results (not copying!) is encouraged The lowest laboratory assignment is dropped with your total points to tally final points in this course If you miss a lab experiment or fail to turn in an activity in time, then that will be the lab experiment and or activity that is dropped. After the first dropped, all missing assignments will receive zero credits. If 3 lab assignments are not submitted, then students are dropped for nonparticipation. If this accumulation is past the withdrawal deadline, then the earned grade will be dropped one letter grade.

GRADING & EVALUATION

1.Experiments: There will be ten experiments worth 50 points each (see laboratory schedule for dates). The two lowest of these will be dropped and your grade will be based on 8 experiments. One for the first half and another for the second half of the semester. Points for experiments will be based on completion of the online experiment report found in Canvas, digital photos of experiment progress plus other written work as assigned by the instructor. Optional Lab Notebook: You can earn up to 5% bonus for each experiment (2.5 pts per experiment). You will need to use a composition notebook as discussed in the orientation. If you do not use the designated type of notebook then, you bonus can be accrue. Documentation of experimental procedures, summarization of data and hard copies of digital photos should be part of the lab notebooks for all experiments performed in this course. For more info on structure and submission of lab notebook pages, see below (8 x 50 pts) = Total 400 pts.

3.Exercise/Activities: There will be four such exercises/activities worth 50 points each. All these activity exercises must be completed using the Canvas assessment page, unless otherwise stated. Students are encouraged to discuss the problems to help each other out in learning the concepts covered in the activity but each student must formulate their own answers for each question and submit their own work for assessment. Do not plagiarize answers from others. The due dates for all assignments are posted on the schedule and calendar section in Canvas. Assignments must be completed and submitted online before the due dates. (4 x 50 = Total 200 pts.)

2.Quizzes: There will be one safety quiz (50 pts) a midterm (100pts) and a final quiz (150 pts each). The final quiz must be taken on via Canvas on the date indicated on the schedule. The midterm exam will be based on the first half of the semester and the final exam will be cumulative with a slight emphasis on 2nd half of the semester. Note that if you DO NOT complete the safety quiz or safety photos, then at best any experiment turn in will automatically receive a 15% deduction at worst, you will be dropped from the course. If you do complete the quiz but do not turn in the safety photos then there will be a 10% deduction for each lab you turn in. The penalty will be permanent for those experiments (Total: 300 pts.)

4 LabPractical: The lab practical will be given as part of your midterm and final exam. This is based on the student-Learning-Outcomes for this course. The emphasis of the practical will be based Lab assignment 04. (Total: 50 pts)

5. Lab Techniques, log-ins and participation: Participation in the course through regular log in, chat discussion, bulletin postings and quality of lab photos of your experimental, returning chemicals for disposal will make up this portion of the grade. If you forget to bring your chemicals on the day of the midterm and final exam for proper disposal, you automatically get 50% off in your lab technique grade. If you do not turn in your chemicals, you will receive a zero for lab techniques and you will receive an Incomplete. (Total 25 pts.)

Course Grade: Course grade will be determined as outline below. Evidence of improvement during the semester will be considered when assigning final letter grade. Total points possible = 1000 Grade evaluation:

Very Important Notes

1. You are responsible for purchasing the designated laboratory equipment for this course. This includes a lab kit from KLM, a first aide kit, safety goggles, lab apron, oven mittens and surgical gloves. (Be sure to test all equipment in your lab kit before your first experiment so that you can work it out with KLM for a replacement.) Other items will be required as instructed by the experimental procedures. This year, because of budget limitations, you will need to pay for the chemicals for this course. You will need to go to the Miramar Bookstore and purchase the container kit then bring this kit with you when we meet for orientation and the lab techs will fill the containers with the chemicals for the course. In addition, you will also need to purchase a scientific calculator that can display scientific notation, base 10 and natural logarithms, and powers or roots (e.g. yx or n√). If you need help in determining whether your calculator contains these functions or if you need help in using any of your calculator's function, please see your instructor immediately. It will be your responsibility to understand the use of your calculator and its functions. Please bring your calculator to the rest of the mandatory class meeting.

2. You are responsible for logging in Canvas at least two times weekly to check periodic assignments and announcements. Your first login for the week should be between Mon and Thursday and the second should be between Friday and Sunday. Remember to keep up with the assignment because if at any time during the semester your points to date drops below 25% completion, you may be dropped from the course for non-participation.

3. For all exams and assignments, you must know how to use your calculator. This includes knowledge of using the scientific mode, the log and exponential keys, etc...

4. Send all your inquiry about the course through the Canvas mail tool. Although I will try to check my email daily, do not expect an answer right away. It is a policy that I have at least three-four days to respond to email inquiries. If you are disputing a grade or an assignment or have questions concerning the course, email me with specifics. I may ask you to meet with me during my office hours (or appointments) so that we can resolve the problem.

5. When completing the midterm and final quiz you will be required to solve numerical problems. In addition, some lab assignments involving numerical answers will specifically ask you to show your work or to justify your answers. For both these situations, no credit will be given for numerical problems unless the answers are accompanied by a complete step-by-step solution that clearly shows how the answer is obtained. Always box or underline your final numerical answer and remember that neatness counts. If your work cannot be clearly followed you will not be given credit for that problem. The quizzes will require your signature. Your signature is an agreement between you and your instructor indicating that you agree that you are practicing the honesty policy for the course. If you fail to sign your assignment, your score for that assignment may be penalize, or at worst, you may receive zero for the assignment.

6. Assignment Completion. Although attendance is not counted, you are responsible in completing assignments on or before the due date. Each member in a group is responsible for completing the report or exercise in the Canvas quiz engine. In this course, students are encouraged to work together to perform the experiments, but each student must complete the worksheet individually. If any two students have identical work, then it is considered plagiarism and the student will be referred to the Dean's office. No late assignments will be accepted since a one of experiment and one of the activities is dropped to determine your final score for the course. Please plan accordingly so you do not miss completing and submitting your assignments in this course.

7. If you drop this course it is your responsibility to go to the registration office so you can file the proper paperwork to withdraw from the course. Simply not completing assignments or taking part of the online activities does not constitute dropping the course.

8. Through out the semester you will be asked to provide input on a topic being covered. You are asked to be involved in this learning community by expressing your opinion or questions. These sessions in combination with the homework and miscellaneous activities will make up part attendance and participation grade. More information will be provided through out the semester.

9. Disruptive Behavior: You have the responsibility to conduct yourself in a mature manner while you are online. There are net-etiquette websites that gives you information on conduct over the Internet. One useful site is Netiquette Home Page. Any behavior, which interferes with the legitimate instructional, administrative or service functions of the class, is considered to be disruptive behavior. If I believe that you are displaying disruptive behavior, you will be asked to meet with me and or the Dean. In some instances, if the behavior threatens the personal safety of others then it is classified, as a crisis and you may be dropped from the course. Please respect your instructor and fellow classmates.

10. You are responsible at all times for maintaining safe practices in the laboratory. This means following all safety rules, wearing eye protection and proper clothing, and conducting experiments strictly according to the lab manual. I cannot supervise you as you work on the experiments at home so please use good judgment and always think safety first.

11. Collaboration: You may collaborate in discussing your results with others via zoom or the internet. You need to practice social distancing however and so you are not allowed to get together physically. Group collaboration means that you share in carrying out the laboratory procedure on your own, but you are allowed discuss the results verbally. Each student must submit their own unique work with their own lab results, good or bad. Credit will not be given for any individual assignments that contain responses that are identical to those of another student. This will be considered plagiarism or cheating. Plagiarism and cheating will not be tolerated. If you engage in either of these activities on any assignment (quizzes, lab assignments. etc.) then you will receive no credit for the assignment and will be dismissed from the course, receive a failing grade and referred to the Dean of Students for disciplinary action. For further information, please read the Miramar College catalog under the section on "Student Rights, Responsibilities of all San Diego Community College District students", under 3.0 Code of Conduct, page 41)

12. You are responsible at all times for maintaining safe practices when conducting experiments. This means following all safety rules, wearing eye protection and proper clothing, and conducting experiments strictly according to the lab manual. You must always use safety goggles when conducting labs. Since your instructor cannot police you at home, you must police yourself. You must read the experiment in its entirety before beginning the experiment. You must make sure that there is another adult present when conducting an experiment. I cannot supervise you as you work on the experiments at home so please use good judgment!

13. Academic Misconduct and Cheating. In this course you are encouraged to study and prepare for quizzes and examinations with other students. However, when taking quizzes and examinations, and when writing laboratory reports, you are to work alone. Do not plagiarize your report from other students. You will receive a zero for the lab if you copy your classmate report and enter the answer as your own in Canvas. If your answers in part or in whole are identical to a classmate, you will be asked to explain your work to me and the chair. If you are dishonest, you will receive a zero for the assignment. A second infraction will result in you being reported to school officials for disciplinary action. The College regulations are very explicit about academic misconduct and cheating and these regulations will be fully enforced. During examinations, we will apply a code of honor, under which you are to work alone and neither give nor receive help from any source. Also, you are expected to help enforce this code.

14. Incompletes. If a student should fall into medical hardship and they have completed 85% of the course then a petition may be filed for an incomplete, “I”. Upon the instructor's approval a contract agreement will be signed as to how the student will makeup the incomplete grade.

Special Services

Tutoring: Free tutoring will be available at the PLACe, D-106. The PLACe (Personal Learning Assistance Center) is a peer-to-peer tutorial center supervised by credential instructor.

If the instructor sees fit, this course syllabus may be modified, at which time the instructor will provide you an updated copy of the new syllabus. 06/14/20 -FG

HONEST ACADEMIC CONDUCT San Diego Community College District Honesty and integrity are integral components of the academic process. Students are expected to be honest and ethical at all times in their pursuit of academic goals. 1.0 DEFINITIONS:

Cheating: The act of obtaining or attempting to obtain credit for academic work by the use of any dishonest, deceptive, or fraudulent means. Examples of cheating include, but are not limited to:

1. Copying, in part or in whole, from another’s test or other examination; 2. Discussing answers or ideas relating to the answers on a test or other examination without the permission of the instructor; 3. Obtaining copies of a test, an examination, or other course material without the permission of the instructor; 4. Using notes, "cheat sheet" or other devices considered inappropriate under the prescribed testing condition; 5. Collaborating with another or others in work to be presented without the permission of the instructor; 6. Falsifying records, laboratory work, or other course data; 7. Submitting work previously presented in another course, if contrary to the rules of the course; 8. Altering or interfering with grading procedures; 9. Plagiarizing, as defined herein; 10. Knowingly and intentionally assisting another student in any of the above.

Plagiarism: The act of incorporating ideas, words, or specific substance of another, whether purchased, borrowed, or otherwise obtained, and submitting the same as one’s own work to fulfill academic requirements without giving credit to the appropriate source. Examples of plagiarism include but are not limited to the following:

1. Submitting work, either in part or in whole, completed by another; 2. Omitting footnotes for ideas, statements, facts or conclusions, which belong to another; 3. Omitting quotation marks when quoting directly from another, whether it is a paragraph, sentence, or part thereof; 4. Close and lengthy paraphrasing of the writing or work of another, with or without acknowledgment; 5. Submitting artistic works, such as musical compositions, photographs, paintings, drawings, and sculpting, of another; 6. And submitting papers purchased from research companies (or downloaded from electronic source) as one’s own work.

2.0 ACADEMIC AND ADMINISTRATIVE SANCTIONS

• Cheating and plagiarism may warrant two separate and distinct courses of disciplinary action which may be applied concurrently in response to a violation of this policy.

• Academic Sanctions, such as grade modifications, are concerned with the student’s grades and are the sole responsibility of the faculty member involved.

• Administrative Sanctions, includes any disciplinary action up to and including expulsion, and are the responsibility of the College president or designated representative.

2.1 ACADEMIC SANCTIONS

When a student is accused of cheating or plagiarism, it is recommended that the faculty member arrange an informal office conference with the student and the department chair, or designee, to advise the student of the allegation as well as the evidence, which supports it. The purpose of the informal conference is to bring together the persons involved so that the situation might be discussed informally and an appropriate solution might be decided upon. If more than one student is involved in the incident, the faculty member may call the students together to confer as a group at the discretion of the faculty member. All notes and discussion between the student and faculty member are confidential, in accordance with the Family Rights and Privacy Act, and may be used as evidence in subsequent campus disciplinary proceedings or any subsequent legal action.

Guidelines:

It is the faculty member’s responsibility to determine the type of academic sanction, if any. In reaching the decision, the faculty member may use the following guidelines:

1. The faculty member should advise the student of the alleged violation and should have reasonable evidence to sustain that allegation. Reasonable evidence, such as documentary evidence or personal observation or both, is necessary if the allegation is to be upheld.

2. The usual sanction is "grade modification." This sanction is to be used only if the faculty member is satisfied that cheating or plagiarism did, in fact, occur.

3. The "grade modification" is left to the discretion of the instructor and may include a zero or F on the paper, project or examination, a reduction in one letter grade (e.g., C to D in the course), or an F in the course.

4. In addition to grade modification, certain instructional departments/programs may have policies, which state that cheating can show unsuitability for continuation in the program and/or profession.

5. In all cases, faculty should make the student aware of the penalties for cheating or plagiarism and of their appeal rights. It is recommended that a statement be included in the course syllabus. (See District Procedures 3100.1 and 2).

If an academic sanction is imposed, the incident must be reported in writing within ten instructional days to the School Dean who shall send a copy of the report to the Disciplinary Officer. Notice to the Disciplinary Officer will ensure that there is documentation of the incident with the college in the event of a challenge or legal action. 2.2 ADMINISTRATIVE SANCTIONS

The School Dean will consult with the Disciplinary Officer as to whether the matter warrants administrative sanction in accordance with 3100.2. All actions related to discipline under Policy 3100.2 are the responsibility of the Disciplinary Officer.

1. In the memorandum to the School Dean, the faculty member should state what the nature of the offense was, the evidence, and the academic sanction

imposed. 2. The memorandum will be retained on file with the Disciplinary Officer. 3. The Disciplinary Officer will notify the faculty member if an administrative sanction will be pursued.

Keeping a Lab Notebook. Failure to follow these guidelines will result in not obtaining the maximum credit for your notebook.

In some instances, 50% deduction may be applied to your notebook score.

The Composition notebook required for this course is shown to the right. It is Black Composition Notebook 9.75 x 7.5. You can purchase this type of composition notebook from any Staples, Office Depot, Target, Longs Drugs or Wal-Mart. Purchase the Black and White cover. This is the only

type that is acceptable. For this course.

The following is the format of the write-up for each experiment that is documented in your lab notebook. The idea of a laboratory notebook is that you will be keeping a running record of data and observations as you proceed with each experiment. The results and the interpretation of the results will also be written in your notebook so you can go back and recreate the experiment at a later time.

Although the laboratory notebook does not have to be perfectly pristine, it is certainly desirable that it should be as organized as possible. Be generous in your writing and double space when you write. Some time and thought spent in planning before beginning an experiment will result in a better notebook and a more successful experiment.

Begin on page 4 of your notebook. Save the first three pages for the table of content and useful information such as molar mass, constants...

Notebook Format: I. Heading - For each experiment in clued the following at the

very top line of each page 1.Title – The title of the experiment. Use the same title as

that of the lab manual 2.Date & Time – Write the date and time in which that

particular page of the notebook is complete 3. Lab Partner – Write the name of the co-investigator who

helped you completing this experiment.

II Objective - Write the purpose of the experiment. You can reword the objective as written it the lab manual.

III. Prelab questions - Be sure to answer all prelab questions prior to beginning the procedure of the experiment.

IV. Procedure – Briefly write what you did in this experiment. How did you set up the experiment? Did you have to modify the directions? What problems did you encounter if any? You should also include a description of what materials you used. It is also recommended that you sketch a diagram of the setup.

X Answer to post lab questions. Answer the post-lab questions completely prior to answering questions in Canvas.

Do's and Don't. Severe penalty may be assess if you have these errors in your lab notebook (Each violation results in deduction of 50% max per each lab write-up it occurs)

1. Do not start your first experiment on page 1. Instead, start recording your first experiment on page 3 of your notebook. Use the first few pages for the Table of content and important information such as equation, data and due dates. Violation results in -10%

2. Do not cut and paste data table in your notebook. Everything must be original writing, even data tables. Use the data table from the procedures only as a template on how to organize your data. Each violation results in -5 %

3. Do not use pencil to write in your journal. All entries must be in pen and you should not use "White-out" to correct mistakes. If you make a mistake, simply cross out the error with a single line and write the correct entry in the space below or the margin. Each violation results in -5 %.

4. Do not wait after you complete the experiment to write the data. The data for all experiments should be entered in the notebook as soon as you carry out the measurement, while you are performing the experiment.

5. Do complete all of the above sections in your notebook. That is- make sure you have an objective, procedure, ... for each experiment. In addition, be sure you answer all prelab and post-lab questions in your notebook prior to entering the answer in Canvas.

6. Do complete your notebook (fill in prelab, observations, postlab) as you work and preform the experiment. You must take pictures of the pages and post these pages with your datasheet when you submit your experiment in Canvas. This should also include the photos required per experiment per instructions per experiment. During the last week, you will submit your notebook along with your chemical waste and the borrowed supplies issued to you from Miramar College. Not submitting the notebook with the waste chemicals, will nullify the points earned for the notebook.

Final note. Although the lab notebook will be mostly used for record keeping of the experiments, you should also try to use it to keep track of the lab assignments in this course. Remember that it will be a valuable resource for the midterm and final quiz.
