General Chemistry Practical Chemistry	Representations Demonstration and Simulation	Concentration vs Total Quantity	For a demonstration of concentration versus total quantity: get three 100 mL graduated cylinders. And put a bit of food colouring in one and maybe dilute to 10 mL. Put an equivalent amount of food colouring in another and make it up to 30 and 100 mLs. It’s the same amount of food colouring in 10... more
General Chemistry Practical Chemistry	Active Learning Lab-Based	Pre-Lab Activities	Carefully structure the pre-lab flow chart and pre-lab presentation to carefully explain all the key concepts involved.
General Chemistry Practical Chemistry	Active Learning Lab-Based	Relevance of Practicals	Choose practicals that align closely with important topics. For Example, three ways of experimentally determining a rate law - all three ways should be used in the lab.
General Chemistry Practical Chemistry	Active Learning Lab-Based	Introductory and Applied Practicals	Provide more than one practical on a topic - an introductory 'this is how it works', and a second 'applied' version.
