Environmental Chemistry Laboratory

Catalog description

Introduction of basic laboratory techniques and data analysis used in environmental chemistry. CHEM 021 CHEM 021 Environmental Chemistry Laboratory (1) This course will provide an introduction of basic laboratory techniques and data analysis used in environmental chemistry. The suggested laboratory experiments will consist of a broad range of scientific inquiry that will enhance the lecture material covered in CHEM 020. The course will provide laboratory experience in the chemistry of air, water, and solids. Experiments have been chosen that have a strong biology component such as Stream Ecology, Toxicity, Testing, and Dissolved Oxygen experiments. These experiments should relate to the BIOL 110 and 220 courses. The Chi-Square and Probability experiments will relate to STAT 250 course. The course will be an integral part of the Environmental Studies major providing an experimental chemistry background and experience.
