•
•
National Science Foundation Grant
Investigative Laboratories
Development of Laboratory Projects
Examples
Project Goals
Student Goals
Improve
- Problem solving and
collaborative skills
- Ability to apply
experimental techniques
to solve a chemical
problem.
- Ability to communicate
results (written and oral)
Curricular Goals
- Improved laboratory
experience
- Better synergy between
lecture and laboratory
- Connections between
chemistry courses
Investigative Laboratories
• Students discover results instead of
•
•
•
•
verifying them
Experimental protocols are largely student
designed
Work is done in collaborative groups
Interpretation of results through data
analysis
Group discussion
Project Plan
Gradualism Model – stepwise presentation of
new material with specific goals
Instrumental techniques as common thread
- Molecular Modeling
- FTNMR (1H and 13C)
Project based Laboratories – Reinforces
concepts and skills
Student involvement in laboratory design
• First Semester Focuses
on Techniques and
Instrumentation
•
•
•
•
•
•
Distillation
Crystallization
Melting point
TLC
GC
NMR
• Second Semester
Focuses on
Application
•
•
•
•
NMR
FT-IR
Molecular modeling
Stereochemistry and
Coupling Constants
• Projects should have
clearly stated:
• Objective
• Outcome
• Introduction
• Theory for the
instrumentation to
be used
• background into the
chemistry involved
• Experimental
