Foundational Chemistry Lab Manual

This lab manual includes 12 experiments for the introductory homeschooling chemistry student. Supplies are easily found at any grocery store, and special equipment is kept to the bare minimum. In addition to the Foundational Chemistry Lab Manual, you will also receive access to the full answer key and a parent guide that gives you tips for setting up and assisting your introductory chemistry student. Experiments align with topics from Tutorials 1-13, and cover topics equivalent to a one year high school chemistry course or one quarter introductory college chemistry course.
