The laboratory exercises for
this course are the handouts found on the list below. There is no laboratory manual for the course.
Each laboratory handout is a PDF file.
You should print each laboratory handout and bring it with you to the laboratory period. During the laboratory period you and your lab partners perform that day's laboratory exercise by following the procedure steps in the handout. As you perform the experiment you should fill in the results tables and all other parts of the handout. When your lab group has finished the experiment please bring the completed handout to my desk so that I can review your results.
