Chemistry experiments manual

corktony

Hi I was just wondering if anyone can help me. I'm doing leaving cert chemistry this year but I haven't done any of the experiments because I'm doing it myself through distance learning. How could I get hold of the information I need to fill in my lab book? I've learned off the experiments for the written exam but I need a lab book in case I'm asked to produce one by an external examiner.
Any help would be great thanks.

Do they actually ask you to produce lab-books?

I've never heard of this.

I thought the only reason one needed to have one was in case an inspector came to the school, they would want to see them.

I'd print them out off the internet if I were you and just stick them in a scrap book just to cover yourself, and say you typed them.

We usually just write the experiment from the book into the lab-book and stick in the results, calculations, graphs and diagrams.

We just copied them out, for physics, in our school as well.

We actually write up most of our experiments before we do them and we simply copy it from our text books but with some rewording and skipping alot of the bull wrote into them.
If you know the experiments then you shouldnt have a problem writing them up . We were told we had to write them up for if an inspector came so I don't know how this would apply in your case

They never check this. Don't worry about it!

Most people just copy them from the book. The lab book's a really good tool for revision though, so don't feel like you're wasting time doing it.

Folens produced a lab book at the beginning of the year. Its a red book, and has all the mandatory expirements in it. The only thing it lacks is the results, but for those you can nearly make them up.

I cant remember the date but seeing as you are from Cork. I UCC they will be covering 12-16 experiments on a day soon ring them and find out if you can go!

That might help you.

And Physics experiments available here. We were given copies of these handouts and told to transfer them to our experiment notebooks.

Thanks for the Physics link;)
