An inquiry-based laboratory program for general chemistry consisting of modules that each present a scenario from the world of a chemical professional. Students build skills using important chemical concepts and techniques to the point where they are able to design a solution to a scenario drawn from a professional environment. The scenarios are drawn from the lives of people who work with chemistry every day, ranging from field ecologists to chemical engineers, and including many health professionals as well. Available for custom publishing at http: //whfreeman.com/labpartnerchemistry
Create your own laboratory manual, incorporating experiments from our collection of labs, blank pages for taking notes, or even your own material. Simple, straightforward and cost-effective, the Custom Publishing program allows you to organize your own manual, receive a price quote, and have the material arrive at your university bookstore for your students to purchase like any other text.
