MicroPhySci Lab Manual (2nd Edition)
This MicroPhySci Lab Manual (2nd Edition) is to be used in combination with the MicroPhySci Kit (2nd Edition).
Note: This item is consumable. You will need one per student.
About this course:
The MicroPhySci Kit (2nd Edition) includes a 207 page manual with 36 lab experiments. The included manual explains each experiment covering:
Goals – The goals section outlines the major learning areas of the experiment.
Background – The background would be equivalent to a short lecture on the theory of the experiment.
Materials and Equipment – Get the mentioned equipment out of the kit and you are ready to go. Any items not included in the kit like ice, sugar, hot water, etc. are mentioned in this area, as well as at the beginning of each experiment.
Procedure – Just follow the step-by-step procedure to do the experiment. Instructions are clearly explained making it easy for students, homeschool parents, and teachers/instructors.
Results – Students answer questions in the results area. This gives students a better understanding as well as a record of their completion.
The MicroPhySci Kit is designed to make teaching and preparation very convenient for the student. It contains all materials necessary except for a few common household items. The kit contains sufficient materials to do every experiment five times.
