Summer Term 2013 CHM 2045C Lab Procedures:
1.
Each student must have the required Laboratory Manual and
Laboratory Notebook prior to the second scheduled lab class. Instructions on
using a laboratory notebook will be provided in the Safety lab handout packet.
2.
During the first scheduled lab class in D-204, the following will
be covered
a.
Students will sign the master laboratory attendance form and this
form will be given to Dr. Julie Sutton, North Campus Lab Manager
b.
Students will sign and give the instructor one copy of the
individual laboratory contract to verify attendance the first day of schedule
lab and keep a second copy to tape to back cover of the student laboratory
notebook.
c.
Show the ACS Laboratory Safety film. Students will take notes and
copy these notes into the laboratory notebook on page 1 before the second
meeting on the lab class. An Outline of the film may be provided to aid the
note taking.
d.
Student will synthesize a set of FSCJ-North chemistry lab rules
(at least 20) from three sources (Lab manual, and
other colleges) and safety film into their laboratory notebook.
e.
Next on a new page place a subheading:
D204 Laboratory Sketch. Make a rough sketch of the room in your notebook. Label on the sketch the following:
Safety shower, emergency eyewash, safety blanket, goggle/glasses cabinet, first
aide kit, fume hoods, two major wash up sinks
for hand washing and hardware equipment and any specific drawers identified by
the instructor on the side cabinets.
f.
Students will sketch the HMIS Labeling
System and list the descriptions for each number for each category in their
laboratory notebook
g.
Students will Sketch the
NFPA symbol and then copy a more detailed or specific hazard for each NFPA numeric
category from the Safety Codes handout. Explain what each number represents in
each category in their laboratory notebook.
h. Using Chemical Date
Bases on the Internet, the student will copy on a new page in their notebook
the data sheet from the MSDS Assignment handout and fill in the form for the chemical assigned
and submit this page by the second lab period.
i. Attach to the post lab report a copy of page 12 (or a handout from
your instructor) from your lab manual: “Basic Instructions for Laboratory Work”. Sign and Date
j.
Read in the Appendix: The
Laboratory Notebook pages 207-21. E will use the format: Title; Goals and
Objectives; Procedures;
Raw Date/Data Table; Results/Calculations and/or Conclusions.
3.
There is no makeup for missing a scheduled lab (unless the student
can show registration into the course after the first lab meeting). There are
three CHM 2045C labs Summer Term 2013. Makeup can be done in either of the two scheduled
labs during the week of absence. (Monday 11:30-2:45; Thursday 8:00-11:15; and
Thursday 6:00-9:15 pm, but you must have your instructor’s permission.
4.
Students receive an automatic zero for not attending and
completing the scheduled lab (except the first lab on safety) or if they have
not prepared the proper prelab assignment.
5.
All students will prepare as directed by a policy handout the
first week of lab, a prelab report. This prelab report must have the following sections:
a.
Goals/Objectives
b. Procedures
Also:
c.
The Lab data sheets or Report Sheets must be copied into the lab notebook before
for the
scheduled lab. Then the copy from the lab
notebook will be submitted at the end of the lab.
6. No data may be written on the data tear
out pages in the lab manual during the lab. All data must be recorded directly
into the lab notebook with a ball point pen, pressing hard to make a clear copy
underneath (do not forget to place the heavy periodic chart between the lab
notebook pages).
7.
Neatness counts. Procedures that are not readable will be rejected
by the lab instructor. During the first 15 minutes of lab, the student will turn
in the copy of #5 Part A: Goals/Objectives and #5 B: Procedures. Each page
should have the student’s name. Please staple all these pages together in
order. Then sign the attendance sheet.
8.
Students not having a prepared prelab
report in their lab notebook with be sent home by the instructor and receive a
zero for that lab.
9.
During the first 15 minutes, the student will sign into lab by
signing the Prelab attendance form and submit the prelab copies under the roll sheet. After the first week,
the student will sign a second attendance roll and submit the post lab report
from the previous week.
10. Students who do not
have a lab manual will not be allowed to work in the lab and receive a zero for
the scheduled lab (except the first week). (If the student has Xerox copies of
the experiment from the lab manual, then the manual will not be required that
week). If the student forgets her/his lab manual at home one week but has
his/her lab notebook, the instructor may allow the student to work in lab that
week.
11. The external lab
doors may be shut 15 minutes after the lab begins. No student will be allowed
to work in the lab if they arrive over 15/20 minutes late from the beginning of
the actual experiment. If the check in rolls are not
signed, the student will receive no credit for the lab that day (0/30). Summer
2013 Term has 3 hours and 15 minutes scheduled time in the lab. Only 2 hours
and 30 minutes at the most will be needed for the experiment. Usually for the first
45 minutes, the instructor will lecture in D-204, unless we use a classroom
such as D-207, D-211, or D212. If a student shows up late at D-204 and the
class is not there, please look for us in one of the three rooms.
12. Students will work
only in pairs, 12 setups. Students will be assigned to a work space by the
third lab and by then will have selected a lab partner. Odd students will work
alone if a partner doesn't show.
13. Student will copy
the lab data directing into the lab manual data pages and submit the copies of
each data page used in the lab notebook by signing a third roll sheet when they
are leaving the lab. The time of checkout should also be noted. The student
will submit before she/he leaves the copy of the lab data page from the
notebook. During the next week the student will copy neatly from his/her data
from the notebook on to the original data page from the lab manual. The
original data page from the Lab manual will be the cover sheet(s) for the lab
report and submitted during the first 15 minutes of the following week’s lab,
unless the instructor request only the data page from the lab notebook for that
week..
14. Your instructor may be
modify any of the above instructions during the lab or in an email before or
after the lab has been performed.
15. For the first
absence from lab, unless complete during the week at one of the other scheduled
2045C lab periods, a student will be able to complete an outside the class
assignment/project as directed by the faculty member to makeup the work missed.
16. For a second absence
from the lab, the instructor may or may not allow the student a second makeup
project. A third makeup is out of the question. However, student with perfect
attendance in lab, will be allowed to do one of the
optional makeup projects for bonus credit.
