Objectives
Chemistry is first and foremost an experimental science, and the importance of including practical work in the teaching program cannot be overemphasized. While practical work will not be assigned, it is nevertheless expected that students will have had hands-on laboratory experience.
The purpose of this laboratory course is threefold: (1) To introduce the techniques and methods of general chemistry to students. (2) To allow the student to develop sophisticated laboratory skills. (3) To deepen the student’s understanding of the principles of qualitative analysis.

Outline
<< Course Description >>
This course is designed specifically for students who have registered in the teacher-training program.
Since laboratory space is limited, students will work in groups. However, each student must demonstrate individual mastery of the experiments, and will be responsible for different aspects of the experiments. Details regarding Laboratory Safety Regulations will be introduced on the first day of the course.
The major theme of the laboratory experiments is qualitative analysis of metal ions, which are divided into Group 1 to Group 6 cations. Participating in all scheduled laboratory experiments is mandatory.
