ISBN 0-940139-02-2, 210 pages, paper

This laboratory manual covers the basic skills needed by the chemistry student for success in the chemical sciences. Included are clear and concise explanations of basic concepts, laboratory procedures, nomenclature, and basic mathematical skills and calculations, and timely introductions to laboratory equipment stressing proper and safe use, and more. The manual has been revised in accordance with field tests by beginning college chemistry students and is also appropriate for use in high school chemistry classes with college bound students.
LABORATORY EXERCISES FOR GENERAL CHEMISTRY, Vol 1, 6e, by A. Frappier, R. Kreiser, and J. Sousa; $19.99
ISBN 0-940139-18-9, 190 pages, paper
This laboratory manual is designed to compliment a one semester college level course in General Chemistry. The laboratory exercises are intended to reinforce course content and teach basic laboratory procedures to students who are taking chemistry course work for personal interest or vocational purposes.
Each laboratory exercise contains a clear and concise explanation of concept, experimental procedures, calculations and reporting procedures. Included are pre-study guide forms and experiment report forms which when completed by the student may be removed from the manual and submitted to the instructor for evaluation.
Experiments cover physical and chemical changes, densities of solids and liquids, water of hydration, a sequence of chemical reactions, the formation of oxides, acids and bases, behavior of families in the periodic table, gases - Charles’ Law, molecular weights of volatile liquids, classes of chemical reactions, classification of substances, displacement reactions, vapor pressure, etc.

LABORATORY EXERCISES FOR HEALTH SCIENCE CHEMISTRY, Volume One, 6th Edition by Emanuel G. Terezakis $19.99
ISBN 0-940139-12-X, 166 pages, paper
This laboratory manual is designed to cover the first semester of a two course sequence in Health Science Chemistry. The laboratory experiments are designed to reinforce course content in a concrete manner. It is written for students who will have had little previous exposure to chemistry; therefore, it takes care to introduce basic laboratory concepts and procedures. The focus is on general chemistry. Each section contains an introduction and explanation of the concept and its use in the health sciences. Laboratory procedures and equipment are introduced and explained along with the treatment of data. Report forms are completed and submitted to the instructor for evaluation and are easily removed from the binding.
LABORATORY EXERCISES FOR HEALTH SCIENCE CHEMISTRY, Volume Two, 6th Edition, by Emanuel G. Terezakis, $19.99
ISBN 0-940139-13-8, 175 pages, paper
This laboratory manual covers the second semester of a two semester sequence in Health Science Chemistry. The laboratory experiments cover organic chemistry and biochemistry and are designed to reinforce course content. It is written for students who have little previous exposure to chemistry and therefore takes care to introduce basic laboratory concepts and procedures.
Each laboratory exercise includes an introduction and explanation of the concept and its use in the health sciences. Laboratory procedures and equipment are introduced and explained along with treatment of data. The binding permits the removal of completed reports by the student for submission to the instructor for evaluation.
