Lab Information and Safety Rules:
Lab Safety Contract (http://www.flinnsci.com/Documents/miscPDFs/Safety_Contract.pdf)
There is a 7$ lab fee. This fee is used to pay for consumables
that are used during a laboratory experiment.
Power Point Presentations: (There may not be a presentation
for every unit)
Experimental Design
The Metric System and Tools of Measurement
Density
Properties of Water
Hints for Printing from Power Point
You do not have to print the slides in color. You can choose what to print under your print properties option.
* Choose "print handouts" - you can print up to 6 slides per page
* Choose "print grayscale or black and white"- this means you will not waste all of your colored ink
