This laboratory manual accompanies the eighth edition of Chemistry in Context: Applying Chemistry to Society. This manual provides laboratory experiments that are relevant to science and technology issues, with hands-on experimentation and data collection. It contains 34 experiments to aid the understanding of the scientific method and the role that science plays in addressing societal issues. Experiments use microscale equipment (wellplates and Beral-type pipets) and common materials. Project-type and cooperative/collaborative laboratory experiments are included. With the movement towards sustainability and “green chemistry”, the investigations in this lab were developed to use minimally toxic reagents, and to use them in small quantities, where possible.
The labatory manual and study guide supports your teaching with a broad range of practicals, emphasising saftey and risk assessment. It is an essential companion to Chemistry in Context and can also be used alongside other Advanced Chemistry books. It offers practicals wwith detailed instructions, for openended investigations and opportunities for assessed practical work in the four skill areas of planning, implementing, analysing and evaluating.

This laboratory manual accompanies the ninth edition of Chemistry in Context: Applying Chemistry to Society. This manual provides laboratory experiments that are relevant to science and technology issues, with hands-on experimentation and data collection. It contains 40 experiments to aid the understanding of the scientific method and the role that science plays in addressing societal issues. Experiments use microscale equipment (wellplates and Beral-type pipets) and common materials. Project-type and cooperative/collaborative laboratory experiments are included.

"Climate change. Water contamination. Air pollution. Food shortages. These and other global issues are regularly featured in the media. However, did you know that chemistry plays a crucial role in addressing these challenges? A knowledge of chemistry is also essential to improve the quality of our lives. For instance, faster electronic devices, stronger plastics, and more effective medicines and vaccines all rely on the innovations of chemists throughout the world. With our world so dependent on chemistry, it is unfortunate that most chemistry textbooks do not provide significant details regarding real-world applications. Enter Chemistry in Context-"the book that broke the mold." Since its inception in 1993, Chemistry in Context has focused on the presentation of chemistry fundamentals within a contextual framework"--
The 5th edition Laboratory Manual that accompanies Chemistry in Context is compiled and edited by Gail Steehler (Roanoke College). The experiments use microscale equipment (wellplates and Beral-type pipets) as well as common materials. Project-type and cooperative/collaborative laboratory experiments are included. Additional experiments are available on the Online Learning Center, as is the instructor's guide.
'Chemistry in Context' has been completely revised and rewritten to give teachers a complete, full colour A Level Chemistry course. The presentation and suitable reading level ensures all students will find the text readable and the subject accessible.
