A newly revised chemistry lab manual featuring MeasureNet for non-science majors is being introduced by Contemporary Publishing
The manual, 'Experiments in general, organic and biological chemistry, featuring MeasureNet', authored by Bobby Stanton and Lin Zhu of the University of Georgia, became available in mid March.
It is a revision of the current laboratory manual to include extensive procedures for using MeasureNet's integrated, networked data acquisition system.
The manual features innovative experiments, as well as collaborative, multi-component chemical analyses.
Incorporating MeasureNet into the laboratories affords students the opportunity to collect and manipulate scientific data in a manner realistically preparing them for future employment.
The manual also contains self-directed experiments and can be used without MeasureNet.
Experiments that have integrated procedures for MeasureNet include specific heat of a metal, emission analysis of a metal, self-directed identity of an unknown metal, concentration of ascetic acid in vinegar, self-directed identity of an unknown metal, concentration of acetic acid in vinegar, self-directed quality control for glassex, amino acids and proteins, and stoichiometry.
The authors have an additional work entitled Experiments in general chemistry featuring MeasureNet published by Thomson Education.
Instructors can request more information via MeasureNet's website.
MeasureNet Technology manufactures patented, network-based data acquisition interfaces for science teaching laboratories.
The company is a spin-off of the University of Cincinnati's department of chemistry and is headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA MeasureNet's award-winning, PC-reducing design helps reduce laboratory maintenance and operational costs while giving students access to high quality shared UV-vis spectroscopy, gas chromatography, and an array of innovative probeware.
It's acclaimed intuitive design provides improved transparency to enable better science-focused, not technology-focused, learning.
Winner of the Ohio Governor's Award For Excellence in Energy Efficiency and a US Department of Commerce Export Achievement Award, MeasureNet networks are found in universities, community colleges, secondary schools, and vocational training centers across the United States and around the world.
