Join this optional college-prep Lab offered as a companion to the LIVE class. The Lab covers Freezing Point Depression, Electrical Conductivity, Analysis of a Hydrate, Mole Ratios, and various types of reactions, including Decomposition Reactions, Double Replacement Reactions, Acid-Base Reactions, and Redox Reactions.

Special Notes:  You must be registered for Chemistry, Part Two (LIVE) to register for the lab component. All labs will have a pre-recorded video (found on the class page) that includes an introduction to the lab, and guidance through the lab and the lab report.  Labs will be touched on during class. NOTE: there is no live meet up time for Lab. You will have Lab access within the Chemistry course itself.

NOTE: Parts One and Two of this course are part of the Franciscan University Advantage Program for dual enrollment. They align with Franciscan's CHM 110 and CHM 115 (lab) for 4 college credits.

Prerequisite: Concurrent registration in Chemistry, Part Two

Instructor: Kathy Dutton

Course Description: We will do approximately seven labs throughout the semester. As closely as possible, the topics covered in the lab will correlate with and support what we are discussing in class.

Course Outline:  Topics covered include Electrical Conductivity of Solutions, Freezing Point Depression, Analysis of a Hydrate, Mole Ratios, and various types of reactions including Decomposition Reactions, Double Replacement Reactions, Acid-Base Reactions, and Redox Reactions

Course Materials and Technology:

1. MicroChem – Homeschool Connections Custom Kit, Quality Science Labs,  http://www.qualitysciencelabs.com/homeschool-connections/

NOTE: This kit is mandatory. Order early as they are very busy in the Fall and the delivery time can be quite long.

2.  Scientific Calculator (I demo on a TI-30x iis)

3. Scanner or smartphone with CamScanner (or like) app that can scan multiple pages and save as a single PDF file.

Homework: There will be about seven labs spread over the semester; each lab (including the lab report) should take about 3 hours to complete; some will take more time and others will take less. Mrs. Dutton will be available to answer questions daily via the class discussion (forum). Mrs. Dutton will grade all completed assignments and give an overall grade for the lab.

Fee: For all LAB lessons: $67 if you register on or before November 15, $87 after Nov. 15. (Registration closes one week before the first day of class. After that date, registrations are not guaranteed. There is a $20 surcharge for late enrollments after the course is closed.)
