Synopsis

Laboratory Manual to Accompany Chemistry: Atoms First by Gregg Dieckmann and John Sibertfrom the University of Texas at Dallas. This laboratory manual presents a lab curriculum that isorganized around an atoms-first approach to general chemistry. The philosophy behind this manualis to (1) provide engaging experiments that tap into student curiosity, (2) emphasize topics thatstudents find challenging in the general chemistry lecture course, and (3) create a laboratory environmentthat encourages students to “solve puzzles” or “play” with course content and not just“follow recipes.” Laboratory Manual represents a terrific opportunity to get students turned on toscience while creating an environment that connects the relevance of the experiments to a greaterunderstanding of their world. This manual has been written to provide instructors with tools thatengage students, while providing important connections to the material covered in an atoms-firstlecture course.

About the Author

Dr. Julia Burdge did most of her undergraduate work at Iowa State University, completing her bachelor s degree and Master s degree in inorganic chemistry at the University of South Florida in Tampa. She earned her Ph.D. in analytical chemistry at the University of Idaho. Her Master s and doctoral research involved the development of chemotherapeutic analogs of cisplatin and the development of instruments and methods for measuring ultra-trace concentrations of atmospheric sulfur compounds. Over the past 20 years, she has taught introductory and advanced courses in every division of the undergraduate chemistry curriculum, as well as interdisciplinary courses. She also developed and taught a new introductory chemistry course for pre-service science teachers, and initiated and served as a mentor in a future faculty development program for graduate students and post-doctoral associates. She is currently affiliated with the University of Idaho.
