Design projects

The Essential Chemistry lab manual includes four different design projects with four supporting research enhancement assignments. These projects provide experience with student-designed investigations and are an ideal introduction to the engineering design process. The design projects and research enhancements include grading rubrics, student answer sheets, and slides, all accessible from the digital Teacher's Edition.
