and not instructor taught. Students are encouraged to self-guide, and interact with the instructor to answer questions and request help where needed. Independent inquiry is encouraged as students must read the worksheets and follow the instructions step-by-step as they go along. During the labs, students will have time to: Practice:When learning techniques for the first time, students will get time to practice before running the experiment, and recording in their lab notebook. It s not fair to ask that students first-ever attempt is recorded, so the workbook encourages students to have the room and comfort to make mistakes and know that learning techniques takes time and practice.Work with Peers:In science, it s important to talk about and compare your results with a lab partner. Students are often asked during a REActivity to stop and work with partners on concept questions, or to report and compare results with lab mates. It s difficult to gauge your success for a given task if you have nothing with which to compare.Ask Questions:The flow of these REActivities allows for the instructor to more freely wander around the lab and help students. There will be certain instances where students will need the instructor s approval before moving forward.CONTENTS:Introduction:> About REActivities> Waste Management> Communal Pool of CompoundsTechniques:> First Day of Lab> Recrystallization (single solvent)/Melting Point> Recrystallization (solvent pair)> Thin LayerChromatography:> Column Chromatography> Stereochemistry> Liquid Liquid Extraction> NMR and IR> Distillation> Predicting Organic Reactions: SN1 / SN2Reactions:> Troubleshooting an Organic Reaction> Bromination of Cinnamic Acid> Elimination of Dibromo-cinnamic Acid> TEMPO Oxidation of Benzyl Alcohol> Wittig Reaction of Benzaldehyde> Saponification of trans-Cinnamate> Perkin Condensation of BenzaldehydeAppendix:> Supplemental NMR Tutorial> Fractional DistillationNOTE: This lab workbook delivers as shrink-wrapped loose leaf pages with 3-hole punch for insertion in a ring binder (ring binder not included).
