General Chemistry Laboratory Techniques

These six videos are now in use nationwide at hundreds of high schools, junior colleges, and lower-division classes at colleges and universities. Each illustrates the key procedures for a particular general chemistry laboratory technique. Live-action demonstrations are enhanced by graphics and animation, and closeups of procedures magnify important features for the student. Safety and equipment care are stressed throughout.
