The revised,
4th edition Chemistry Precision and Design Lab Manual provides 27
experiments and begins with a focus on laboratory regulations and safety.
Emergency procedures are also covered, and it is recommended you review them
periodically. Each experiment offers an overview, equipment and supply lists,
step-by-step instructions and a report sheet. You will need to provide numerous
items including a lab coat/apron, safety glasses/goggles, beakers, flasks,
graduated cylinders, test tubes, Celsius thermometer, and numerous specialty
chemicals. Please contact Rainbow Resource for a full listing. Consumable. Each
student will need their own copy. Alternatively, homeschool families may be
able to incorporate a high school level chemistry kit like MicroChem Kit. While not intentionally aligned with the 4th edition Abeka
Chemistry, with a little effort, parents can line up the experiments with the
more classroom focused Abeka lab activities.
