Labs/Investigations

The chemistry laboratory is a place to explore and experiment.  The goal is not to know that a scientific theory exists or a mathematical theorem provides an answer, but why and how.  It is one of many stages that offer a collaborative, team-based setting in producing knowledge and connecting atomic interactions to the natural phenomena that we experience and see on a daily basis. The laboratory is beyond simply learning content, but the environment where students engage in learning from mistakes and problem solving.
