Teaching Laboratories

Rooms 210, 220, and 230 are chemistry laboratories each holding 24 students. These labs each have 12 networked computer stations, one per pair of students. These computers have an interface module and software (Vernier Lab Pro) that allows students to collect pH, conductivity, temperature, pressure, and optical absorption data and place it directly into a spreadsheet for manipulation and graphing. A number of different types of software are available on these stations, including Xwin software for use with the Silicon Graphics workstations and servers.

Room 330 is the analytical laboratory holding 32 students. This lab has 16 networked computer stations, one per pair of students. It has the same interfacing equipment and software as is found in the general chemistry laboratories, which allows students to collect pH, conductivity, temperature, pressure, and optical absorption data and place it directly into a spreadsheet for manipulation and graphing.
