"Experiments in General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, Featuring MeasureNet" 4th edition


Bobby Stanton, University of Georgia
Lin Zhu, University of Georgia
ISBN: 0-89892-317-4, shrink-wrapped loose pages
 

University of Georgia authors Bobby Stanton and Lin Zhu have revised their laboratory manual for non-science majors. In the Fourth Edition, due March 2006, they have added extensive procedures using MeasureNet’s integrated, networked data collection system. The manual features innovative experiments, as well as collaborative, multi-component chemical analysis. Incorporating MeasureNet into the laboratories affords students the opportunity to collect and manipulate scientific data in a manner comparable to that of their future employers. This manual also contains self-directed experiments and can be used without MeasureNet.

"Experiments in Organic Chemistry" 3rd Edition


Richard K. Hill, emeritus University of Georgia
John Barbaro, Rocky Mountain College, formerly of University of Florida
ISBN: 0-89892-311-5
 

Originally written for the University of Georgia Organic Chemistry labs, this manual has been expanded and now has over 50 adoptions throughout the country. Most of the lab manual's experiments are small-scale, using 1-5 g of starting materials, and a large majority are also designed for microscale laboratories, using 50-200 mg of reagents, making this manual suitable for both standard or microscale operations.

"A Manual for General Chemistry Laboratory I, 2045L" 5th edition


James C. Horvath, University of Florida
ISBN: 0-89892-215-1
 

This manual is for the first lab course in General Chemistry at the University of Florida. It has been in publication for many years and was developed to make Chemistry students "think" in the lab as opposed to filling in blanks. Dr. Horvath believes that knowledge with understanding is much more valuable than simple knowledge.
