"A significant
difference between science courses and nonscience
courses is the inclusion of the laboratory (…). Too often our students fail
to realize the extensive experimental work behind the facts presented so
freely in lecture. The laboratory can bring abstract words and concepts to
life. (…) As we prepared this
fourth edition of A Laboratory for General, Organic, and Biochemistry
we bring to bear nearly thirty years of concern for the laboratory
experience. The laboratory exercises in this manual are designed to support
the training of students in health-related areas, agriculture and general
education. Each has been modified, rewritten and modified again until we were
confident the concepts we wanted to show were clearly demonstrated.(…) Detailed, comprehensive instructions for preparing
each experiment are in the Instructor's Manual. In addition, The
Instructor's Manual contains many hints that we have learned over the
years to ensure student success. |

This collection of
twenty-seven experiments begins with the basics of measurement and concludes
with the chemistry of digestion. Some experiments require more than one
laboratory period. Each is written as a self-contained teaching and learning
unit." From the introduction To
