Second Edition

A practical guide to writing impactful lab reports for science undergraduates through the use of model outlines and annotated publications.

Shows science students how to write a clear and to the point laboratory report.

A comprehensive resource for high school teachers and students, STEM Student Research Handbook outlines the various stages of large- scale research projects, enabling teachers to coach their students through the research process.

The LABORATORY HANDBOOK FOR GENERAL CHEMISTRY helps students perform their laboratory work more effectively, efficiently, and safely. It is not a compilation of experimental procedures, but rather, throughout three editions, it remains a "how-to" guide containing specific information about the basic equipment, techniques, and operations that are necessary for successful laboratory experiments. The importance of laboratory safety is stressed. Video demonstrations of a number of common laboratory techniques are an important feature of this Third Edition. The Handbook can be used in conjunction with CER modular experiments, to support locally written experiments, or to complement the techniques sections of commercial lab manuals.

Teaches students the basic techniques and equipment of the organic chemistry lab — the updated new edition of the popular hands-on guide. The Organic Chem Lab Survival Manual helps students understand the basic techniques, essential safety protocols, and the standard instrumentation necessary for success in the laboratory. Author James W. Zubrick has been assisting students navigate organic chemistry labs for more than three decades, explaining how to set up the laboratory, make accurate measurements, and perform safe and meaningful experiments. This practical guide covers every essential area of lab knowledge, from keeping detailed notes and interpreting handbooks to using equipment for chromatography and infrared spectroscopy. Now in its eleventh edition, this guide has been thoroughly updated to cover current laboratory practices, instruments, and techniques. Focusing primarily on macroscale equipment and experiments, chapters cover microscale jointware, drying agents, recrystallization, distillation, nuclear magnetic resonance, and much more. This popular textbook: Familiarizes students with common lab instruments Provides guidance on basic lab skills and procedures Includes easy-to-follow diagrams and illustrations of lab experiments Features practical exercises and activities at the end of each chapter Provides real-world examples of lab notes and instrument manuals The Organic Chem Lab Survival Manual: A Student’s Guide to Techniques, 11th Edition is an essential resource for students new to the laboratory environment, as well as those more experienced seeking to refresh their knowledge.

Providing practical advice to students on how to write for biology, this book shows how to write for a particular audience, self evaluate drafts, and paraphrase for improved comprehension.

This guide outlines an effective methodology for writing the experimental laboratory report, showing how skills that emphasize correct grammar and appropriate style must be adapted to writing reports with a purpose--reports that emphasize structure and content to persuade the readers. It first covers basic principles; then explores each section of a report, step-by-step, with sample report sections and critiques. The Laboratory Report Writing Process. Principles of Clear Lab Report Writing. Rules of Practice for Lab Report Writing. Graphics. The Title Page and Table of Contents. The Beginning of the Report. The Body of the Report. The Ending of the Report. A Sample Student Lab Report. For anyone who must write lab reports as part of their professional responsibilities.

A physics course for 9th to 11th grade covering essential physics concepts. Introductory Physics is a mastery-oriented text specially designed to foster content mastery and retention when used with the companion resource materials available on CD from Centripetal Press. Another key feature of Centripetal Press texts is the integration of related subjects: history, mathematics, language skills, epistemology (the philosophy of knowledge) as well as frequent references from the humanities. Fresh pedagogical ideas and presentation make this text a superior choice for all learning environments where rigor and lucidity are desired in a text.
