Principles of Chemical Structure Laboratory (CHEM 1811) is
a complementary, independent lab course which explores and expands
upon many of the ideas covered in CHEM 1810 lecture. Using state-of-the-art chemical tools—traditional chemical tools as well as computational ones—and the current research literature, you will investigate interesting chemical problems: should you spend more money to purchase an SPF-100 sunscreen? should you drink from plastic water bottles, should you eat foods containing Truvia™ sweetener. Though there will not always be clear cut answers to the questions you ask, the inquiry skills you develop will help you make better, scientifically sound judgments and decisions. The scientific writing skills you develop will allow you to better convince others that you are right.

4/09/13—Welcome to the CHEM 1811 website! Not all of the course information has been updated for the Fall 2013 semester, but what's here should give you a fairly good idea of what to expect. |
Take cool pictures and learn about the chemistry behind the art when you participate in the CHEM 1811 Our Chemical World.
