This source supplies a
systematic process for teaching laboratory chemistry in the context of natural
sciences education. The source touches on the basic ingredients of scientific
writing, which range from literature review, problem statement, methods,
results, discussion, and conclusions. In addition to this, the source focuses on
the role of the teacher when guiding students through the process of scientific
inquiry. The text offers a structure for teaching the way procedures are
conducted in a laboratory, drawing conclusions based on the results gotten in a
laboratory, and critically reading data. It is very useful to instructors as
well because it gives them insight to develop effective teaching strategies for
chemistry laboratory experiments and the enhancement of students' learning
experience.
This is a document by the National
Research Council that gives very comprehensive information on laboratory safety
and environmental health. It provides information on how to create a safe
laboratory environment. Some topics discussed include risk evaluation and
assessment, chemical management safety, and emergency preparedness. Issues in
laboratory hazards, proper methods for waste disposal, and legal compliance are
also covered in the book. It is a good reference book in developing a secure
laboratory setting, giving the essential practice regarding management of risks
and proper safety procedure while working with hazardous material. It is ideal
for practitioners, students, and laboratory managers who need to minimize the
events of accidents while ensuring the principles of safety in the laboratory.
