| Content | This course is designed to reinforce students’ understanding of laboratory procedures and the scientific method, as well as to enhance their investigative skills in the following areas: determining the density of liquids and solids; applying various separation techniques; identifying the properties of ionic and covalent compounds; measuring the electrical conductivity of substances; and observing heat changes during dissolution and chemical reactions. To achieve these objectives, students are expected to accurately and efficiently comprehend and follow laboratory guidelines, perform experiments with caution and discipline, and demonstrate the ability to collaborate effectively. In addition, students are encouraged to further develop laboratory manuals by seeking accurate and reliable information from credible sources. |
