Credit(s): 4
This course is a laboratory-centered course for non-majors in which elements of scientific methodology are investigated through common laboratory experiences and diverse themes. Topics might include: chemistry in literature, chemistry and the brain, the chemical elements, toxicology, environmental chemistry, pharmacology for non-majors, history of chemistry, or chemistry and health. The topics vary from semester to semester depending on the instructor. The laboratory component is designed to reinforce principles learned in lecture. Experiments might include analysis of water for hardness, acid/base properties of household chemicals or effectiveness of dishwashing liquid. Emphasis will be on careful observation, recording data, and contextualizing experimental outcomes.
