Stanton and Zhu Revision Features MeasureNet for Non-Majors
April 11, 2006
A newly revised chemistry lab manual featuring MeasureNet for non-science majors is being introduced by Contemporary Publishing. Experiments in General, Organic and Biological Chemistry, Featuring MeasureNet, authored by Bobby Stanton and Lin Zhu of the University of Georgia, will be available in mid March. It is a revision of their current laboratory manual to include extensive procedures for using MeasureNet's integrated, networked data collection system. The manual features innovative experiments, as well as collaborative, multi-component chemical analyses.
Incorporating MeasureNet into the laboratories affords students the opportunity to collect and manipulate scientific data in a manner realistically preparing them for future employment. The manual also contains self-directed experiments and can be used without MeasureNet.
Experiments that have integrated procedures for MeasureNet include “Specific Heat of a Metal,” “Emission Analysis of a Metal,” “Self-Directed Identity of an Unknown Metal,” “Concen-tration of Ascetic Acid in Vinegar,” “Self-Directed—Identity of an Unknown Metal,” “Concentration of Acetic Acid in Vinegar,” “Self-Directed—Quality Control for GlassEx,” “Amino Acids and Proteins,” and “Stoichiometry.” (View complete Table of Contents)
