Bridging to the Lab Media Connecting Chemistry Concepts With Practice

Consisting of 11 interactive lab modules, Bridging to the Lab motivates students to learn by offering real-life problems in a virtual environment. Students make decisions on experimental design, observe reactions, record and interpret data, perform calculations, and draw conclusions from their results. Bridging to the Lab is offered as a booklet that describes every lab, explains how to use them, and provides a code to access the lab modules online. A tracking feature records and enters student responses into a protected online database so instructors can see how a student navigated through the module. For students without Internet access, the booklet also comes with a CD-ROM that contains the modules, but without the tracking feature. Worksheets for each module are provided so students can record and turn in their responses.
