Title

Observation and Inference

Learning Outcome

Students will demonstrate the ability to carefully observe the outcomes of experiments, use that evidence to make inferences about molecular-level events, and communicate that information using the symbolic notation of chemistry.

Title

Laboratory Techniques and Safety

Learning Outcome

Students will demonstrate skill at basic laboratory and safety techniques including measuring mass and liquid volumes, transferring chemicals, using a centrifuge, employing appropriate personal protective equipment, and disposing of waste materials properly.

Title

Scientific Practices

Learning Outcome

Students will develop proficiency as scientists by asking questions, planning and carrying out experiments, analyzing and interpreting data, using models, constructing explanations, supporting arguments with evidence, and clearly and effectively communicating the results of their experiments.
