Overview

Laboratory Experiments In General Chemistry Featuring Measurenet is the first self-directed laboratory manual to incorporate experiments conducted with MeasureNet -- an innovative, network data collection system that introduces students to "real world" chemistry. With the new use of MeasureNet, experiments are more precise, only requiring small quantities of chemicals, making the lab safer and environmentally friendly. This laboratory manual is designed to first prepare students for the laboratory setting through conceptual and technique experiments. Students then work to solve a multi-component question, utilizing what they learned in previous experiments. Through this approach, and with the help of MeasureNet's modern electronic data collection, analysis, and reduction, students truly prepare themselves for conducting chemistry in a professional setting!

About the Author

Bobby Stanton received his Bachelor's and Master's Degrees from Tennessee Technological University and his doctorate from The University of Tennessee. He is an Academic Professional at the University of Georgia and serves as the Coordinator of General Chemistry Laboratories. He is involved in the development of Self-Directed (a form of guided inquiry) experiments designed for the MeasureNet Digital Data Acquisition System, and has authored or co-authored 15 publications in journals such as ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY AND APPLIED SPECTROSCOPY.

Currently a faculty member at Indiana University - Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI), Lin Zhu has taught at University of Hawaii at Manoa, University of Hawaii at Hilo, and University of Georgia. When he served as Franklin Fellow at the University og Georgia, he was involved in the development of experiments designed for the MeasureNet Digital Data Acquisition System. He has authored or co-authored articles in journals such as JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY and MICROPOROUS AND MESOPOROUS MATERIALS. Lin Zhu received his Bachelor's Degree from Peking University in Beijing, China, and his Ph.D. from University of Hawaii at Manoa.

Charles H. Atwood is a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Georgia, where he is Coordinator of Freshman Chemistry. His research includes new technologies for teaching and testing chemical phenomena, as well as emerging computer technologies to enhance teaching of freshman chemistry. He is the recipient of the University System of Georgia's Board of Regents 2009 Award for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. Dr. Atwood has authored several books and published articles in the Journal of Chemical Education, The Chemist, and Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry. He received his Bachelor's Degree from Millsaps College and his Doctorate from Florida State University.
