Description
The Essential Chemistry Teacher Lab Manual is a complete set of teacher answer keys for the 73 labs inside the Essential Chemistry Student Lab Manual (the printed student lab manual is sold separately). Each teacher key provides sample data, graphs tables, and correct or sample responses to the analysis questions within each of the 73 student lab investigations. The Essential Chemistry Teacher Lab Manual includes:
- Printed and bound set of all 73 teacher answer keys
- Editable Word version of each student lab handout
- Editable Word version of each teacher answer key
Available separately:
- Essential Chemistry Student Lab Manual (EC-6352) – this printed, student-consumable lab manual includes 46 labs that cover a full year of introductory physics.
- Essential Chemistry Teacher Lab Manual Resources (EC-6353-DIG) – contains all of the electronic resources for the 73 labs inside the Essential Chemistry Student Lab Manual. These resources include editable electronic copies of all 73 students’ lab handouts and teacher answer keys; plus, complete lesson slide sets in PPTX format for all 73 labs, and short videos that help guide you through the data collection and data analysis steps of some labs.
This manual was designed to be used either in conjunction with the Essential Chemistry curriculum or as a supplemental lab manual. Teacher Resources must be purchased separately when using the lab manual without the Essential Chemistry textbook.
Experiments
There are 73 labs and activities covering a full year of chemistry topics. 47 of the labs use the sensors and/or equipment from the Essential Chemistry Standard Equipment Kit. The remaining labs can be performed using typical equipment found in your chemistry lab.
