Introduction
This webquest was created to help you make up any labs you
may have missed during the year.
The laboratory component of this class is very important and
you must remember that nothing replaces the real world
experience you get from being in a laboratory setting with
your teacher to guide you through the steps necessary for the
proper understanding of the material presented.
The Task
Your task is to complete a (or many) virtual labs for
evaluation by your teacher.
The Process
To accomplish the task, you must click on the lab you would
like to do and follow the directions. Most labs ask you to take
notes in a virtual notebook and draw conclusions from these
data notes. In order to receive credit for these virtual labs, i
suggest you take these notes on a piece of paper to be
handed in along with your conclusions.
Evaluation
You can use this rubric found below (after all the hyperlinks)
to get an idea of the grade you may expect depending on the
quality of your work.
Conclusion
Please understand that these labs have a purpose. As you do
them think about what you think the lab is trying to get you to
realize. What are the logical conclusions to be drawn?
